For anyone following a gluten-free diet, finding a truly gluten-free Cornish pasty is like searching for a needle in a haystack. Supermarkets may offer “gluten-free” alternatives, but if you check the ingredients list, you’ll often find wheat starch or oats—both of which, while technically within the safe limits for coeliacs, are off-limits for those with wheat allergies.
At The Gluten Free World, we believe that gluten-free should mean exactly that—completely free from gluten-containing ingredients, without any hidden surprises.
That’s why our Cornish pasties are crafted with a 100% gluten-free pastry and a traditional, hearty meat filling, so you can enjoy the classic taste of Cornwall with confidence.
Why Are Gluten-Free Cornish Pasties So Hard to Find?
Most gluten-free products in supermarkets prioritise meeting coeliac-safe standards rather than catering to the wider gluten-free community, including those with wheat allergies or intolerances. This means many manufacturers use:
✅ Wheat Starch – This is often used to improve texture, and while it’s processed to remove gluten, it still comes from wheat, making it unsuitable for those with a wheat allergy.
✅ Oats – Even gluten-free oats can cause reactions in some people due to cross-contamination or an intolerance to avenin (the protein in oats).
For those who need to avoid wheat altogether, supermarket pasties just aren’t an option. That’s where we come in.
A True Solution to the Pasty Problem
At The Gluten Free World, we’ve created a proper gluten-free Cornish pasty that’s safe for coeliacs and those with wheat allergies alike. Our recipe is free from wheat starch, oats, and any hidden gluten-containing ingredients. Instead, we use a carefully developed gluten-free pastry that’s as close to the real thing as possible—flaky, golden, and strong enough to hold that classic, rich filling.
You don’t have to miss out on the joy of biting into a warm, hearty pasty just because you avoid gluten. We’ve made sure you can enjoy the real thing—without compromise.
