How is this GF? Marmite is not gluten-free. Marmite’s major ingredient is an extract from brewer’s yeast arising from beer-making. Malted barley, wheat, and rye are typically used to make many beers and they contain gluten

Hi Zoe, thanks for letting us know about this error. We are changing the recipe to show that it is not Gluten Free. Once again thank you for getting in touch.

Some supermarket versions of Marmite are gluten free, such as Sainsburys and Aldi.
SharonMonday 14th February 2022
Hi Michelle, thanks for your helpful comment.You are correct, there are gluten free brands of yeast extract available even though Marmite itself isn’t gluten free.
