Udi's and Glutino Share Tips for Hosting a Stress-Free Gluten-Free Thanksgiving

CHICAGO, Nov. 12, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- For those following a gluten-free lifestyle, Thanksgiving can require a little extra planning to ensure everyone at the table can enjoy the holiday meal. With nearly 1 in 4 U.S. consumers reporting that they follow a gluten-free diet either by choice, for celiac disease, or other gluten sensitivies¹, Udi's® and Glutino®, brands of Conagra Brands, Inc. (NYSE: CAG), are helping hosts create a Thanksgiving meal everyone can enjoy.

"Thanksgiving is all about bringing people together, and food is at the heart of that celebration," said Justin Rumps, brand manager, Conagra Brands. "With simple ingredient swaps and great-tasting gluten-free options, it's easier than ever to bring classic Thanksgiving favorites to the table for all guests."

To help hosts prepare for the holiday season, Udi's and Glutino are sharing tips for creating a delicious gluten-free Thanksgiving. Along with preventing cross-contamination during meal preparation, incorporating gluten-free alternatives into holiday favorites can help hosts create a more inclusive holiday table for all guests.

Prepare a Gluten-Free Thanksgiving Appetizer Board

• Guests often gather and snack before the meal, making a charcuterie-style board an easy way to accommodate a variety of tastes and dietary preferences.
  
  
  
  Build a gluten-free spread featuring cheeses, fresh fruit, nuts, vegetables, and crunchy favorites like Glutino Original Pretzel Twists and Glutino Original Table Crackers. A festive appetizer board can help keep guests satisfied while the main meal is coming together, and provides gluten-free options everyone can enjoy.

Recreate Classic Thanksgiving Favorites with Gluten-Free Swaps

• A gluten-free Thanksgiving doesn't mean leaving cherished dishes behind. Many holiday staples can be easily adapted with simple ingredient substitutions.
  
  
  
  Hosts can use Udi's Bakehouse White Artisan Bread to create flavorful homemade stuffing, while crushed Glutino Original Table Crackers or Glutino Original Pretzel Twists can add a satisfying crunch to the topping of green bean casseroles and other side dishes. Sweet recipes can also be easily adapted, with Glutino Chocolate Vanilla Crème Cookies serving as a gluten-free substitute in dessert crusts and other seasonal treats.

Plan Ahead for Dinner, Dessert and Leftovers

• From dinner and dessert to next-day leftovers, having ready-to-enjoy gluten-free options on hand can help simplify Thanksgiving and beyond.
  
  
  
  Serve Udi's Gluten Free Soft White Dinner Rolls alongside holiday favorites, then turn to Glutino Frosted Animal Crackers, Glutino Milk Chocolate Wafers, and Glutino Fudge Covered Pretzels for easy sweet treats after dinner.
  
  
  
  Keep it simple the next day by turning Thanksgiving leftovers into easy sandwiches with Udi's Artisan Bread, available in Bakehouse White, Seed the Moment, and Honey Multigrain varieties. Layer on leftover turkey and your favorite fixings for a delicious way to give the holiday meal a second life.
  
  
  
  With convenient options for different moments throughout Thanksgiving and beyond, hosts can spend less time preparing separate dishes and more time enjoying the celebration with their guests.

This Thanksgiving, Udi's and Glutino can help make gluten-free hosting simpler, so families and friends can focus less on navigating dietary restrictions and more on creating lasting holiday memories together.
