✅ Why You Don’t Need to Mark Fruits & Vegetables as Gluten-Free
  • Fresh fruits and vegetables in their natural state contain no gluten.
  • Plain, steamed, roasted, or raw vegetables and fruits served in school cafeterias do not require gluten-free labeling.
  • USDA guidelines for school meals focus on grains, protein, and dairy as areas where gluten is commonly present, making these the priority for gluten-free identification.
⚠️ When You Might Need to Mark Vegetables & Fruits as Gluten-FreeSome processed or prepared fruits and vegetables may contain gluten due to added sauces, seasonings, or coatings. Examples include:
  1. Vegetables in Sauces or Gravies
    • Creamed spinach, cheese-covered broccoli, or vegetables in gravy may contain wheat-based thickeners.
  2. Pre-Seasoned or Breaded Vegetables
    • Some pre-cut or frozen vegetable blends may contain seasoning mixes with gluten-containing additives.
    • Breaded zucchini, onion rings, or tempura vegetables are not gluten-free.
  3. Canned or Pre-Packaged Fruits
    • Some fruit fillings (like pie fillings) or sweetened canned fruits may contain gluten in thickeners.
  4. Cross-Contact Risks
    • If vegetables or fruits are prepared using shared equipment (like cutting boards or fryers used for breaded foods), they may not be safe for gluten-free students.
