Here is a link to the Heinz gluten free list. It is interesting to look at the list because Heinz Ketchup is gluten free in the U.S. and Poland, but Heinz Organic Tomato Ketchup is not gluten free in the US. Heinz Organic Tomato Ketchup is gluten free in the UK and Canada. I would have thought if Heinz Ketchup was gluten free in the US it would be GF around the world. After looking at the master list, you realize how much more complicated assessing the gluten free status of food is for these large companies.

Territory Mom - That makes no sense. I don't understand why companies can't make the same product/same ingredients for everyone.
Stacy - I discovered this a few months ago and was very disappointed. I bought the organic because it didn't have HFCS…
Anonymous - Most countries have standards of what makes a product gluten free. Gluten free doesn't necessarily mean zero gluten, but the amount of gluten present. The U.S. is behind other countries in making these standars. So while the same product in the US is said to be gluten free, it may not meet the same standards set in another country for it to be labeled. That may be why there's that difference.
Anonymous - I looked at the Heinz website

It appears that both the organic and regular are listed as gluten free.
Sassy - They add sugar to their ketchup though. There's a recipe that shows how to make your own ketchup. I'm going to give it a shot.
Anonymous - Heinz Ketchup in UK has spirit vinegar in it which has gluten. I am a coeliac and am suffering as I type from having had ketchup this evening without realising the consequences.
