Is Pepperoni Gluten Free?

Generally, plain pepperoni is gluten-free as it’s typically made from a combination of cured pork and beef mixed with spices, none of which contain gluten. However, it’s important to check the specific brand or manufacturer’s label, as some may add gluten-containing ingredients or process the pepperoni in facilities that handle gluten products, potentially leading to cross-contamination.

What is Tolerase® G?

A new Approach for People with Gluten Sensitivity:
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 ).

Is pepperoni gluten-free on pizza?
Pepperoni itself is typically gluten-free. However, some brands may use gluten-containing fillers or seasonings in their pepperoni. When it comes to pizza, the crust is usually the main source of gluten, not the toppings. To be certain, it's best to check with the specific manufacturer or restaurant about their pepperoni and pizza ingredients.
Does deli pepperoni have gluten?
Most deli pepperoni is considered gluten-free since it is primarily made from cured pork and beef, along with various spices and seasonings. However, it’s essential to read labels or inquire with deli staff, as some brands may use gluten-containing additives or fillers in their formulations. Additionally, cross-contamination can occur during processing, so verifying ingredients is crucial for those with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity.
What meats are not gluten-free?
Most plain, unprocessed meats are naturally gluten-free. However, some processed or prepared meats may contain gluten due to additives or manufacturing processes. Examples of meats that may contain gluten include certain sausages, hot dogs, deli meats, and breaded or battered meats. It's important to check labels carefully or consult with manufacturers if you're unsure about the gluten content of a specific meat product.
