Is Heinz Worcestershire Gluten Free?
Heinz Worcestershire Sauce is not certified gluten-free and may contain trace amounts of gluten from ingredients like malt vinegar. While Heinz does not explicitly market this product as gluten-free, some people with mild gluten sensitivities may be able to tolerate it, but those with celiac disease or severe gluten intolerance should avoid it to be safe.
Low in calories: Worcestershire sauce is generally low in calories, making it a good option for those watching their calorie intake.
Contains vitamin B6: Anchovies, one of the ingredients, provide a small amount of vitamin B6, which is important for brain development and function.
Provides some minerals: The sauce contains small amounts of minerals like iron, calcium, and potassium from its various ingredients.
Contains antioxidants: Some ingredients like onions and garlic contain antioxidants that may help fight free radicals in the body.
Potentially aids digestion: The vinegar in the sauce may help stimulate digestive juices.
Flavor enhancement: It can add flavor to dishes without adding significant fat or calories, potentially encouraging consumption of healthier foods.

Explore the Science and Benefits of Tolerase® G.
Relief from Gluten Sensitivity
In the fight against gluten, there is a unique supplement that stands out: Little Helpers anti-gluten pills with 100% Tolerase® G.
This specific enzyme, Tolerase® G, a patented endopeptidase specific for proline, was developed by Royal DSM and has been scientifically proven to be effective in breaking down gluten residues ( 1) . Furthermore, research has shown that Aspergillus niger prolyl endoprotease (AN-PEP), an enzyme closely related to Tolerase® G, can break down gluten so effectively that it barely reaches the duodenum, potentially eliminating gluten toxicity ( 2) ( 3 ) .
On this page we explain why we are so enthusiastic about this supplement, supported by scientific research.
What is Gluten?
Gluten is a group of proteins found primarily in grains such as wheat, barley, and rye. These complex proteins give shape, strength, and texture to bread and other grain products. However, gluten is difficult to digest because it is rich in proline, a non-essential amino acid. This is why about 13% of the world’s population is sensitive to gluten in their diet (1).
How Tolerase® G Works
It is important to note that Tolerase G is designed to have optimal activity in the difficult conditions of the stomach. Its effectiveness on the digestion of gluten in the stomach and duodenum has been scientifically proven ( 1 ).
Studies have shown that a newly identified prolyl endoprotease derived from Aspergillus niger can effectively break down gluten proteins. This enzyme works optimally at a pH of 4–5, remains stable at pH 2, and is completely resistant to digestion by pepsin ( 2 ). Furthermore, research has shown that Aspergillus niger prolyl endoprotease (AN-PEP) accelerates the breakdown of gluten in the stomach so much that very little gluten reaches the duodenum ( 3 ). This suggests that co-administration of AN-PEP with a meal containing gluten could potentially eliminate gluten toxicity, allowing people to (occasionally) abandon their strict gluten-free diet ( 3 ).
