Any plans for gluten free Mac n Cheeze?

[5kg2go]

I’m guessing gluten is integral to the sauce, but maybe its possible?

Would be nice to cut out gluten from my diet, just in case…

It’s been answered a few times. There isn’t a gluten free pasta that works at the moment. I think if it was a good option they would…as would increase the customer base.

It’s not about the sauce really. I’ve answered it here!

They've done it again - Pasta Bolognese is now nutritionally complete

At the moment no, sorry for that. In development stages we tried so many gluten-free pastas and they have always been massively inferior. So much so we couldn’t go with them. We’ve tried GF pastas from a range of different ingredients like corn, sweet potato, quinoa. The problems are a number of things - awful texture, won’t hydrate without boiling like regular pasta or just exorbitantly expensive.

I’m getting a 404 on this link, is anyone else?

@lnicolett

You would like us to raise the price of Hot & Savoury Pasta so we can make them all Gluten-free?!

[lnicolett]

No, I’d like to do a specific gluten-free version, which would cost more. So who’s interested in that, could buy that version.

[RLWitt]

I’m used to paying more for gluten free so if it was an option… Depending on how much more it could cost I’d be up for that. @Tim_Huel

Thanks. That’s a shame.

Here’s the fixed link

It’s an interesting suggestion. I’m not sure how keen the team would be to add another range to our site. But I don’t know how much more expensive the GF pastas that were close to working cost. Something to discuss for sure

[lnicolett]

I mean, you’re doing it already with the V3 Powder, why not on other products as well if the default is not gluten-free?

[5kg2go]

Well, all the other hot ones are GF so it’s not like we don’t have options.

[lnicolett]

Yes, as is the BE version of the powder, that didn’t stop them from creating the gluten-free option for the V3 as well (and the price is higher!)

[himji]

Great point. I forgot about that

[RLWitt]

Very true. I just love pasta! I do have alternative Bolognese options (obviously making it from scratch) or there are vegan tinned Bolognese sauces in the supermarket. I just love Huel and would happily pay for more of their products
