Clam chowder FAQ

Table of Contents

Is clam chowder gluten-free?

Generally, canned clam chowder is not gluten-free because it usually contains flour as a thickening agent. However, some brands may produce gluten-free versions so it’s always worth checking the labels if gluten needs to be avoided.

Is clam chowder keto?

Most canned clam chowder is typically not keto-friendly due to the presence of potatoes and flour, which increases the carbohydrate content. A 1-cup serving contains about 15-20 grams of carbohydrates, and the ketogenic diet typically allows for only 20-50 grams of carbohydrates per day.

Is clam chowder high in cholesterol?

Canned clam chowder can contain a relatively moderate to high level of cholesterol because of the clams and cream in the recipe. A 1-cup serving of most canned clam chowders contain about 40 milligrams of cholesterol. The recommended daily maximum cholesterol intake for a healthy person is less than 300 milligrams, so one serving of clam chowder makes up about 13-15% of your daily cholesterol limit.

Is clam chowder high in sodium?

Yes, canned clam chowder generally has high sodium content. A 1-cup serving can contain around 800-900 milligrams of sodium. The recommended daily sodium intake is less than 2,300 milligrams for healthy adults, and thus a serving of clam chowder could make up nearly 40 percent of the upper daily limit.

Is clam chowder low FODMAP?

Traditional canned clam chowder is not typically considered a low FODMAP food. It usually contains common high FODMAP ingredients like onion and wheat flour. However, there may be specialty brands that produce a lower FODMAP version that avoids these ingredients. Again, it’s always worth checking package labels in this regard.

Is clam chowder paleo?

No, canned clam chowder is not generally paleo-friendly. This is because it often contains dairy and flour; these are ingredients that aren’t permitted on the paleo diet. However, you can make clam chowder paleo-friendly by using ingredients like almond milk and arrowroot powder to thicken soup, but such options are not common in canned products.

Is clam chowder vegetarian?

No, canned clam chowder is not vegetarian as it includes clams, which are a type of seafood. The soup base also typically contains fish or chicken broth, both of which are not vegetarian. Vegetarians should look for a sea vegetable or vegetable broth based clam-free ‘chowder’.

Is clam chowder halal?

Whether canned clam chowder is halal or not largely depends on the perception of seafood in various Islamic jurisprudence. Some scholars believe all seafood including clams are halal, while others disagree. Plus, if the soup base contains any non-halal meats or alcohol, or if it is not prepared according to halal standards, it would not be considered halal.

Is clam chowder kosher?

No, canned clam chowder is not usually considered kosher. This is because clams are considered shellfish, which are not kosher. Furthermore, clam chowder often includes a mixture of dairy and meat (in the form of bacon or other pork products), which is also not kosher.
