<p>So a local pub keeps promoting their gluten free grain-fed beef. Like this is a good thing. It makes me cross every time I see it</p> <p>I'm not sure what grains they feed the cattle and whether they contain gluten. And if the grains did contain gluten I'm guessing they wouldn't remain in the meat?</p> <p>However, isn't the whole concept just totally wrong?</p>

<p>Lol. I think corn and soybeans are both technically gluten-free. That's pretty amusing. </p>

<p>You should ask the pub is they also have gluten-free wifi.</p> <p>And maybe if they have a bowl of gluten-free jelly beans. Or when they ask what to drink, ask for gluten-free Coke.</p> <p>:\</p>

<p>It's got to be a joke.</p> <p><strong>Update</strong></p> <p>Since I made this answer, I've learned that marinades can contain wheat-based proteins, and I actually found some corned beef at the supermarket that listed some wheat protein on the ingredient list. Sausages of course often have rusk in the them, and cutlets of various kinds are crumbed. So it isn't quite a claim as daft as it sounds. Sad but true.</p>

<p>It just sounds like they're riding the gluten free wave to promote cheap factory farmed beef. Not everyone realizes that cows are grass eaters by nature. I've seen plenty of restaurants boosting of their corn fed beef...hopefully the grass fed wave will crash ashore soon, and become the norm again.</p>

<p>The animal converts food proteins into animal proteins by breaking down their structure during digestion (amino acids are separated and then repackaged during metabolism). Therefore, the meat will never contain any consumed proteins in their intact form. Meat, regardless of what the animal is fed, will not contain any gluten. The only way gluten could be in the meat is if the meat has been processed using fillers or if breading or some other type of preparation is done that adds a product containing gluten. But meat, by itself, is always gluten-free.”</p>
