If you have coeliac disease, choose a roll whose current packaging clearly states that it is gluten-free. Keep it separate from regular rolls, tongs and fillings while baking and serving: according to the Netherlands Nutrition Centre, even a stray breadcrumb can cause symptoms for someone with coeliac disease. Then choose between white and multiseed based on the ingredients, any other allergens and the preparation method that suits your barbecue.
You need a roll that is clearly labelled gluten-free, and want to prevent it coming into contact with crumbs from regular bread during preparation or serving. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre points out that even a stray breadcrumb can cause symptoms for someone with coeliac disease.
You’re looking for a roll with a clear gluten-free label and want to know in advance how to bake and serve it separately. Check the current allergen information on the packaging too.
You want to choose a type of bread that goes well with the fillings. Compare the ingredients, nutritional information and any other allergens in the specific white or multiseed variety.
Start by checking for a gluten-free label and planning how to prepare the rolls separately. Then compare availability, preparation instructions and the type of bread.

A bread’s name doesn’t tell you whether a roll is gluten-free. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre lists wheat and spelt among grains that contain gluten.
If you have coeliac disease, check the gluten-free label on the current packaging and read the ingredients and allergen information too.
A product labelled gluten-free can come into contact with crumbs from regular bread during preparation or serving. According to the Netherlands Nutrition Centre, even a stray breadcrumb can cause symptoms for someone with coeliac disease.
Bake the roll separately and use clean, separate tongs, surfaces and serving plates. Keep the fillings separate too.
Albert Heijn says its multiseed rolls have been discontinued; the PLUS page for the Ouni roll showed that it was unavailable locally. This doesn’t tell you what other shops have in stock.
Check availability at your shop or delivery address before planning the barbecue, and choose another option that is clearly labelled gluten-free if needed.
Albert Heijn and PLUS point out that product and allergen information can change. This also matters if a guest needs to avoid ingredients other than gluten.
When you buy the rolls, check the packaging of the variety you’re actually taking home.
These examples can help you compare specific rolls. Check the packaging and availability in your area before choosing.

According to the Dutch Coeliac Association, this label means the product contains less than 20 mg of gluten per kg. Check the current packaging when you buy the roll; a name such as ‘multiseed’ doesn’t tell you whether it’s gluten-free.
If you have coeliac disease, avoid contact with regular rolls and their crumbs. According to the Netherlands Nutrition Centre, even a stray breadcrumb can cause symptoms, so use a clean, separate preparation area and keep the tongs, plate and fillings separate too.
Follow the instructions for the specific roll. Albert Heijn recommends five minutes at 180 °C in a preheated air fryer for AH Gluten-Free White Rolls, with a maximum of two rolls at a time. Check the current packaging and your air fryer’s instructions.
The label ‘gluten-free’ doesn’t answer the same question as an allergen declaration stating ‘contains wheat’. PLUS’s product information for the Ouni roll lists both gluten-free wheat starch and wheat as an allergen. Check this information separately if wheat is relevant to you or your guest.
No. The mention of iodised salt doesn’t tell you whether a roll is gluten-free. Check the gluten-free label on the current packaging, and read the ingredients and allergen information separately.
