Gluten Free Processed Meat

We ran 1,962 processed meat through our gluten free rules: 24 pass, 12 need a label check, and 394 don't make it.

Whole cuts are gluten-free; the processing is not always. Rusk and breadcrumb are traditional sausage fillers, and soy sauce marinades bring wheat in quietly. That is why sausages dominate the no column while plain hams mostly pass.
