Bought this as it does not say “contains wheat” but I am seeing conflicting translations.

Can anyone confirm for me? I am celiac and can’t eat any wheat.

    it says at some point ”소맥(밀) 성분 혼입 가능,” which means it *could* contain wheat products.
    So, I think this would not be certified gluten free (though not using wheat otherwise)

    edit: meant to say NOT certainly gluten free

    Gochujang is a very difficult product, but there are varients especially marked as glutenfree for example by Sempio. I’d only trust those.

    The ingredients don’t list wheat – only brown rice / sticky rice is used. (Wheat is hard to grow in Korea so less common in old timey Korean foods.) But it does say – as a warning that it may be contaminated (too strong of a word but not finding the exact translation) with wheat. Might be equivalent to “prepared in a facility that handles wheat” warning. “소맥 (밀) 성분 혼입 가능”

    Also says color may get darker with natural aging processes and it is ok to eat. (I think I saw that question too.)
