The differences between certified gluten free foods and gluten free foods

 

Have you ever seen the symbol which contains the letters "GF" in bold with a bold circle around the letters? Or the symbol with a grain of wheat with a line crossed through it? Ever wonder what these symbols stand for?

These symbols stand for certified gluten free food, which contains an extremely small amount of gluten. If you're celiacs, you know it is safe to eat these foods. But what about foods that read gluten-free, but aren't certified? Are they safe to eat?

Gluten Free Food: Generally gluten free food are food are free from gluten ingredients. They are named to be gluten free, but actually they are not 100% free from gluten. They are not 100% free from gluten if these foods are made in a facility which also creates producst that have gluten. For the gluten intolerant,  gluten free food are relatively safe. For those who have celiacs, gluten free foods are not 100% safe.
