Hi Vic,

Who makes GF Hoisin sauce and where do you buy it?

Thanks!

I'm not Vic, but I've found Premier Japan ( & Son's line) hoisin sauce on glutenfree.com-- Gluten-Free By The Bay

Dynasty Hoisin sauce is really easy to find at Safeway and possibly

other stores. We get ours at the Safeway at Wolfe and Old SF Road,

but I am sure other Safeways carry the brand and the sauce also.

In all of the Dynasty brands, this is the only one that does not have

gluten ingredients. So, possibly you may think you are taking a

chance. I've used it regularly without a problem, and if it were a

problem, I would certainly know about it! <More information is too

much information!> As you know, you need to read lables because

Dynasty could easily change their formulation without notice.

I've also checked out various brands at our local Asian food store -

Kings on El Camino at Cezanne. Hoisin sauce there is not without

wheat ingredients, but there are some brands of black bean sauce that

are free of soy sauce. Ditto for Ranch 99 market on Wolfe and Marina

Market in Cupertino. Some of the Mr. Chau (a styalized male Chinese

chile is their insignia) brands are made without wheat. Sometimes

ingredients on Asian products say " soy sauce " and I skip those. Soy

sauce is not a primary ingredient.

Isaiah had a great suggestion also. Thank you Isaiah!
