Is Pam Gluten Free?

People in the gluten-free community are accustomed to finding hidden gluten in everyday products, and that’s why when someone in my community told me she thought Pam cooking spray made her sick, I wanted to investigate. I also tested Pam for hidden gluten using my Nima Sensor. This post may contain affiliate links. Please see my disclosures.

I use Pure & Simple cooking spray the most because it’s sold in a two-pack at Costco for a great price. It doesn’t contain any gluten ingredients. I also tested it for hidden gluten with my Nima Sensor, and Nima didn’t find any gluten.

A “Cleaner” Cooking Spray Option

If you’re looking for a cleaner cooking spray option and one made without propellant, I recommend Chosen Food’s Avocado Oil spray. It’s made from 100 percent expeller pressed pure avocado oil and has a 500º smoke point, making it one of the best oils for high-heat cooking and baking.

While I use Chosen Food avocado oil often, I find after 2-3 uses, the spray turns into a stream. It also doesn’t have nearly the non-stick power the cooking sprays made with propellant have. When I roast potatoes, chicken wings, or other foods that stick to my baking sheet, Chosen Foods cooking spray doesn’t cut it.
