Is Spam Gluten Free?

Most traditional spam is gluten-free as it’s typically made from pork, ham, salt, water, potato starch, sugar, and sodium nitrite, which do not contain gluten. However, it’s always best to check the label of any specific spam product you’re considering, as some flavored varieties or regional formulations might include gluten-containing ingredients.

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

What is spam made of?
Spam is primarily made of pork shoulder meat and ham. It also contains salt, water, sugar, and sodium nitrite as a preservative. The exact recipe is a trade secret held by Hormel Foods Corporation. Despite myths and jokes about its contents, Spam does not contain any mysterious or unidentifiable ingredients.
Can celiacs eat spam?
Celiacs generally cannot eat traditional Spam. Spam contains wheat starch, which contains gluten and is not safe for those with celiac disease. However, Hormel (the maker of Spam) does produce a gluten-free version called Spam Single Classic. Celiacs should always carefully check labels and opt for products specifically labeled as gluten-free to ensure their safety.
