SafeDoes surimi contain gluten?
Often yes. Surimi sticks are fish paste bound with starch, and the starch used is often wheat starch. Some brands use potato or tapioca starch and are gluten free: it changes from product to product.
Eating out
In seafood salads, poke bowls and cheap sushi, surimi gets in without being named.
Recipes change from one producer to the next and from one kitchen to the next: this is how something is usually made, not what is in the plate in front of you. The only answer that holds for your plate is the ingredient list on the packet, or the person who cooked it.
And how did it go at the restaurant?
Knowing what is in a dish is half the answer. The other half is what actually happened to the people who ate it in a specific place — and that is what SafeBelly collects: no stars, just how it went afterwards.
