      If you are highly sensitive to gluten, just be careful to check with the manufacturer. I called Barry Farm Foods and the person I spoke to stated their egg albumen/albumin is not gluten-free. Knowing that some manufacturers will not mark products gluten-free, though they do not contain gluten ingredients, I asked her to read me what was on the label. She said it only listed "dried egg". That tells me that they either make it in a facility that makes gluten products; Barry Farms may not be certain how it is made (some manufacturers may be in another country such as China); or they are not listing what else they add to the dried egg.

      If you wish to purchase it from there here is the link: http://www.barryfarm.com/nutri_info/m...

          Thanks :)
          I checked the websites and the products I found all had other additives like vanilla flavoring. I need it for baking macarons so not sure if it would work since macarons are finicky and tricky...

          Try bulk barn for the egg white powder.
          Gluten free baking - Sobeys carries a line that does gluten-free cookies and such in their baked goods section.

            I saw some on Sat at the Sobey's on Front just east of the market. They actually had two brands.

              Hello

              Do remember which isle it was in? I went looking today and couldn't find it. I asked the people working there and they didn't know either.

              Thanks

              Thanks
