Bicarbonate of Soda GLUTEN-FREE (per 200g)

Doves Farm Gluten-Free Bicarbonate of Soda is a handy everyday ingredient for bakers and refill shoppers who want one product with more than one job. This gluten-free baking soda is suitable for home baking and a lower-waste cupboard routine.

Why it works in gluten-free bakes

As a raising agent, gluten free bicarbonate helps create lift when a recipe includes an acidic ingredient such as lemon, yoghurt, buttermilk, vinegar, or cocoa. It is a practical choice for cakes, muffins, pancakes, and scones, especially when you want dependable GF baking ingredients in the pantry.

Best practice: follow the recipe carefully, as the amount needed can vary depending on the flour blend and the ingredients in the mix.

Baking situations where it is especially useful

• Soft sponge cakes: supports a lighter texture
• Muffins and traybakes: easy to add to everyday recipes
• Quick breads: works well with fruit, dairy, or citrus
• Small-batch baking: a reliable store-cupboard staple for occasional use

Bicarbonate of soda vs baking powder

If you are comparing ingredients, it helps to know that bicarbonate of soda needs an acid to activate its rise, while baking powder already includes an acid and a starch. That makes this gluten-free baking soda ideal when your recipe is designed for it, but not a direct swap in every bake.

For best results, use it in recipes that specify bicarbonate of soda, or where you know there is enough acidity to trigger the reaction.

Storage advice

Keep this gluten free bicarbonate in a dry, sealed container and store it away from damp or strong odours. Good storage helps maintain quality for both baking and household use.

Allergen information

This product does not contain a listed allergen as an ingredient. Always check the allergen statement before use, especially if you are shopping for GF baking ingredients with specific dietary needs.

Allergen Statement: Where a product is listed as not containing a specific allergen, this means it is not formulated with that ingredient or wholly derived from it. Allergen controls are used throughout the supply chain to reduce the risk of cross-contamination, but this cannot be guaranteed. 

Keep in a cool, dry place within an airtight container to preserve freshness and flavour.

Please note that we are the retailer, not the manufacturer of the products we sell.

We work hard to keep our product information accurate and up to date. However, manufacturers may occasionally change ingredients, descriptions, or production practices without notifying us. We recommend always checking the product label upon receipt.

For loose products, if you require a specific country of origin or best before date, please contact us before placing your order.

Allergen Information

As a bulk foods store, despite maintaining a Five-Star Food Hygiene rating, the presence of allergens cannot be fully eliminated. Sacks of products containing allergens are opened and closed daily as we scoop and refill our shop dispensers. We use separate scoops for each product and store each product in its own container or original sack — however, products containing allergens are not stored or packed in a self-contained area.

This means all products may contain traces of allergens due to cross-contamination.

Where a product is indicated as free from a particular allergen, this means it has not been formulated from or wholly derived from that ingredient. Allergen handling procedures are in place throughout our supply chain to minimise the risk of cross-contamination, but this cannot be guaranteed.

If you have a severe food allergy, please contact us before ordering so we can advise whether our products are suitable for you.
