Is bicarbonate of soda , gluten free?
Answers: Bicarbonate is made up of hydrogen, carbon and oxygen. It is almost everything free. Yes it is gluten free too. Barbara nailed it.
Gluten free! The chemical, sodium bicarbonate, when produced by the chemical reaction involving ammonia, carbon dioxide, water, and concentrated brine would be gluten free.
When packaged as bicarbonate of soda for use as baking powder, there may be additives such as flour, which would mean that it was not gluten free.
As in everything else, you have to check the label at the time of purchase - even if you bought the same product last week.
