Frequently Asked Questions
Celiac Safety Glossary
- Celiac disease
- Celiac disease is a serious autoimmune disorder in which ingesting gluten — a protein found in wheat, barley, and rye — triggers an immune response that damages the small intestine's villi, affecting approximately 1 in 100 people worldwide according to the Celiac Disease Foundation.
- Gluten
- Gluten is a family of storage proteins (prolamins and glutelins) found naturally in cereal grains like wheat (including varieties like spelt, kamut, and farro), barley, and rye, which acts as a binder to give food elasticity and shape.
- Cross-contamination
- Cross-contamination (or cross-contact) occurs when gluten-free food comes into contact with gluten-containing food or surfaces — such as shared cutting boards, toasters, fryers, or utensils — rendering otherwise safe food dangerous for people with celiac disease.
- Gluten-free certification
- Gluten-free certification, such as the GFCO (Gluten-Free Certification Organization) seal, verifies that a product contains fewer than 10 parts per million (ppm) of gluten — stricter than the FDA's 20 ppm threshold for "gluten-free" labeling.
- Parts Per Million (ppm)
- Parts per million (ppm) is a unit of measurement used to quantify gluten concentration. Labeling laws in the US and Europe permit a maximum threshold of 20 ppm, while Australia requires no detectable gluten (0 ppm).
- Malt (Barley)
- Malt is fermented barley used as a flavoring or sweetener in cereals, chocolates, and beer; it is a major source of hidden gluten that is often overlooked on ingredient lists.
- Brewer's yeast
- Brewer's yeast is a byproduct of beer brewing that is heavily contaminated with gluten from barley; it is a common hidden ingredient in savory snacks and seasonings.
