Gluten Free Gravy Brands: The Best GF Gravy

Last Updated on April 18, 2022

Today, we’re going to be looking at the best gluten free gravy brands. Gravy is typically not gluten-free. This is because flour is used as a thickening agent in almost every gravy that you’ll find in your local grocery store. However, like most foods nowadays, there are plenty of gluten-free alternatives. And we’re going to be looking at the top picks when it comes to gluten-free. But first, let’s take a look at the typical ingredients you’ll find in gravy.

What Is Gravy?

Gravy is usually described as a condiment. When making gravy from scratch, you’ll often use the juices from the meat you’re cooking as the base of the gravy, and then thicken up with either cornstarch or flour. This adds texture and makes for a delicious topping to pour over many dishes.

Ingredients In Gravy

While the ingredients for gravy can differ massively, depending on the brand or how you make it, here are the typical ingredients you’ll usually find in gravy.

• stock (meat juices)
• flour
• butter
• black pepper
• onion
• spices
• seasonings

Gluten Free Gravy Brands

Whether you’re looking for gravy granules, a gravy mix, or gravy in a jar – we’ll be looking at all the gluten-free options available. Some of these brands will be available in the US, while others will be available in the UK. Let’s take a look.

Gluten Free Gravy Mix

With gravy mix, you usually just add water and heat over a saucepan for the perfect gravy. Let’s take a look at our top gravy mixes.

McCormick’s

McCormick’s has a great gluten-free range. However, it’s important to note that not all McCormick gravy mixes are gluten-free. If the product is gluten-free, it will be clearly labeled on the front of the packet. The gluten-free gravy mixes they offer are:

• Gluten-Free Brown Gravy
• Gluten-Free Turkey Gravy

The ingredients in the McCormick’s brown gravy are:

• corn starch
• corn maltodextrin
• salt
• hydrolyzed soy and corn protein

• modified palm oil
• sugar

• potassium chloride
• yeast extract

• spices (white pepper, celery seed)

You’ll be able to find these gravy mixes in most grocery stores, as it’s a very accessible brand.

Simply Organic

If you’re looking for a variety of different flavors, Simply Organic is the place to shop. They have an incredible five gluten-free options to choose from. You can choose from the following flavors:

• Brown Gravy Seasoning Mix
• Chicken Flavored Seasoning Mix
• Turkey Flavored Seasoning Mix
• Mushroom Sauce Seasoning Mix
• Vegetarian Brown Gravy Seasoning Mix

All of these options are certified gluten-free. When a product is certified gluten-free, this means that it’s undergone rigorous testing for gluten, and has met strict guidelines set by the FDA. These gravy mixes are as safe as can be! You can find out more about their gravy mixes here.

Gluten Free Gravy In A Jar

If you’d prefer your gravy to come ready-made, and only need to be heated, let’s take a look at the options.

Sainsbury’s Taste The Difference

Without a doubt, the Sainsbury’s Taste the Difference Chicken Gravy is my favorite. Sainsbury’s is a UK grocery store, so you’ll only be able to this particular brand in the UK. However, this has always been my go-to brand as it’s absolutely delicious, and there’s no effort required at all! However, it’s more expensive than our other options at £3.15 for a pot.

The ingredients in this product are:

• Water
• British Chicken Bones
• Onions
• Carrot
• Leek
• Garlic
• Parsley
• Bay Leaf
• White Pepper
• Cornflour
• White Wine
• Lemon Juice
• Chicken Fat
• Salt
• Muscovado Sugar
• Yeast Extract
• Thyme Leaves
• Caramelized Sugar Syrup
• Black Pepper

Gluten Free Gravy Granules

Much like a gravy mix, you can also buy granules in a container, whereby you just add water to the granules you need.

Bisto

Bisto will always be my first choice for affordable gluten-free gravy. It usually costs around £2 per container – and you can make several meals from one container. Bisto offer two gluten-free varieties:

• Bisto Gluten-Free Gravy Granules
• Bisto Gluten Free Gravy Granules for Chicken

It’s worth noting that Bisto also makes gluten-containing gravy, so always check the label before purchasing, as they look very similar.
