Low Chemical GF Pastas

Not all GF pasta may be negligible in salicylates.

The following ingredients are acceptable, and commonly used:

  • rice (can be made by 100% rice or rice mixed with another GF grain such as millet)
  • millet
  • quinoa
  • buckwheat (can commonly get 100% buckwheat pasta)
  • legumes such as lentils, chickpeas or beans
  • Maize or corn starch
  • Sometimes a mixture of these eg millet + rice or quinoa + rice

Be very careful: some gluten-free pastas are made from a mixture of the above but may also include corn /maize flour. Always read the ingredient list!!!!

San remo is one good choice, but it does contain some soy so if you have a problem with soy choose a different option.

The Food intolerance dietitian has a good article of choosing suitable negligible salicylate (and food chemical intolerance) pasta. https://www.thefoodintolerancedietitian.com.au/post/have-you-just-grabbed-a-gluten-free-pasta-that-is-high-in-salicylates
