Is honey gluten free?

Yes, pure honey is naturally 100% gluten-free. Honey is produced by bees from flower nectar and contains zero grains or gluten proteins. Plain raw honey, clover honey, or wildflower honey is completely safe for anyone following a gluten-free diet or living with celiac disease.

However, caution is needed with flavored, infused, or commercial specialty honey products. Honey-based marinades, hot honey blends, or bakery products containing honey may include gluten ingredients like malt vinegar, soy sauce, or starch thickeners. Always check labels on processed honey products to verify safety.
