Is Scrapple Gluten Free?

Scrapple, a traditional Pennsylvania Dutch dish, typically contains wheat flour as one of its main ingredients, which means it is not gluten-free. However, some specialty producers have created gluten-free versions of scrapple using alternative flours or binders, so it’s possible to find gluten-free scrapple if you specifically seek it out.

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 ).

Frequently
Asked Questions 1

Does scrapple have flour in it?
Scrapple typically does not contain flour as a main ingredient. However, some recipes may include a small amount of flour as a binding agent. Traditional scrapple is made primarily from pork scraps, cornmeal, and spices. The cornmeal serves as the main starch and binder in most scrapple recipes.
What exactly is scrapple made of?
Scrapple is a traditional Pennsylvania Dutch dish made primarily from pork scraps and trimmings. These pork parts are combined with cornmeal and flour, along with spices like sage, thyme, and black pepper. The mixture is formed into a loaf, which is then sliced and fried before serving. While the exact ingredients can vary, scrapple typically includes various parts of the pig that might otherwise go to waste, making it a thrifty and resourceful food.
Why is pork not gluten-free?
Pork is naturally gluten-free. Pure, unprocessed pork does not contain any gluten. However, some processed pork products may contain gluten due to added ingredients or cross-contamination during manufacturing. It's important to check labels carefully if you have gluten sensitivities or celiac disease.
How unhealthy is scrapple?
Scrapple is a relatively unhealthy food due to its high fat and sodium content. It is typically made from pork scraps and offal, which are mixed with cornmeal and flour, then formed into a loaf and fried. While it does provide some protein, the processing and cooking methods make it a calorie-dense food with limited nutritional value. Consuming scrapple regularly may contribute to health issues like high cholesterol and increased risk of heart disease.
