Truly Gluten Free Cocoa Powder
There are many gluten free cocoa powders that don’t have gluten as an ingredient.
But if you’re very sensitive to gluten, it’s safer to use unsweetened cocoa powder for baking and hot chocolate making that isn’t processed on or near to equipment that is also used to process gluten ingredients.
That way, you avoid the risk of cross-contamination.
Many food companies use gluten ingredients in at least some of their products, hence the risk.
Two popular, high quality, reasonably priced cocoa powders on the market that are truly gluten free as of this writing are :
Ghiradelli Cocoa Powder – good price on Amazon via this link
There is a risk of cross-contamination with peanuts, soy, tree nuts and milk in Ghiradelli cocoa powder, but not gluten.
See Ghiradelli’s comprehensive list of cross contamination risks for most of their products here
2. E. Guittard Cocoa Rouge Cocoa Powder
