Where can you buy gluten free gravy and gluten free stock cubes in the UK?
This is a question I get asked often, especially by people with coeliac disease or anyone following a strict gluten free diet. Gravy and stock cubes are everyday kitchen staples, but many standard versions contain wheat flour, barley, or a “may contain wheat” warning, which can make shopping more confusing than it needs to be.
To make things easier, I checked the free from aisles, gravy sections and chilled cabinets in Tesco, Sainsbury’s, Asda and Morrisons to find gluten free gravy granules, ready-made gravy and stock options that are clearly suitable. Availability can vary by store, so always check the label before buying, but this guide should give you a useful starting point.
After all, a roast dinner, bangers and mash, cottage pie or Sunday lunch just is not the same without a good gravy. If you prefer homemade options, you can also try my gluten free gravy recipe, make ahead gravy or miso gravy.
Sadly, classic Oxo cubes are not usually an option for anyone avoiding gluten, and some Bisto products carry a “may contain wheat” warning even when gluten is not listed in the ingredients. The good news is that there are still plenty of gluten free gravy and stock cube choices available in UK supermarkets.
We will begin with gluten free gravy, then move on to gluten free stock cubes and stock pots.
Gluten free gravy
Here are some of the gluten free gravy granules and ready-made gravies I found during my supermarket search. These products were spotted in Tesco, Sainsbury’s, Asda and Morrisons, mainly in the free from aisle, although a few were in the chilled section or the main gravy aisle.
Bisto gluten free gravy
Bisto gluten free gravy is one of the easiest options to recognise and was found in the free from aisle in Tesco and Asda. It is a useful cupboard staple if you want a quick gravy for roast dinners, sausages, pies or mashed potato.

This gluten free Bisto chicken gravy was found in the free from aisle in Morrisons. It is a handy option if you want a chicken-style gravy without having to make one from scratch.
Schwartz gluten free beef gravy
Schwartz gluten free beef gravy was also found in the free from aisle in Morrisons. This is another simple choice for anyone looking for gluten free beef gravy granules to serve with roast beef, meatballs or hearty dinners.
Gluten, wheat and milk free gravy granules by Morrisons
Morrisons offers its own gluten, wheat and milk free gravy granules in the free from aisle. This makes them a useful option for shoppers who need to avoid both gluten and milk.

Tesco gluten, wheat and milk free vegetable gravy granules

Kallo organic gluten free chicken gravy
Kallo organic gluten free chicken gravy was found in the free from aisle in Sainsbury’s. It is another clearly labelled gluten free gravy option for shoppers looking beyond supermarket own-brand products.
Gluten free Marigold gravy
Gluten free Marigold gravy was found in the free from aisle in Tesco. Marigold is a familiar name for stock and gravy products, and this option is worth looking out for if you want something clearly marked gluten free.
Asda Extra Special beef and chicken gravy
Asda Extra Special beef and chicken gravy options were found in the chilled aisle and were marked as new and gluten free. These are useful if you prefer ready-made chilled gravy rather than granules.
Tideford vegan gravy
Tideford vegan gravy was found in the chilled cabinet in Sainsbury’s. It is another ready-made option to consider when shopping for gluten free gravy, especially if you are also looking for a vegan choice.
Gluten free stock cubes
Once the gravy is sorted, the next question is usually stock. Stock cubes, stock pots and stock powders are used in soups, stews, risottos, casseroles, sauces and homemade gravy, so finding reliable gluten free stock options is essential.
This is not a complete list of every gluten free stock product available, but these are some of the options I found in UK supermarkets.
Knorr organic gluten free chicken stock powder
Knorr organic gluten free chicken stock powder was found in the free from aisle in Tesco. Stock powder can be useful when you want to adjust the strength of flavour in recipes.

Asda and Tesco’s own stock cubes
Asda and Tesco own-brand stock cubes were found in the main gravy aisle, and the packs I checked were gluten free. Supermarket own-brand stock cubes can be a budget-friendly option, but always read the label carefully.
Oxo rich beef stock pot with onion and rosemary
Oxo rich beef stock pot with onion and rosemary was found in the gravy aisle in Sainsbury’s. While standard Oxo cubes may not be suitable, this stock pot was one of the Oxo options spotted during the search.
Oxo succulent chicken with garlic and thyme stock pot
Oxo succulent chicken with garlic and thyme stock pot was also found in the gravy aisle in Sainsbury’s. It is another stock pot to look out for if you want a gluten free option for chicken-based dishes.
Did I miss any out?
This gluten free gravy and stock cube guide is not exhaustive, and supermarket ranges change regularly. I have not been able to check every store, so there may be other gluten free gravy granules, chilled gravies, stock cubes, stock pots or stock powders available.
