FacebookFood labeling regulations make it easier to identify foods that contain gluten. In general, gluten-containing grains used as ingredients must be clearly listed on the label. The easiest way to identify suitable products is to look for foods labeled "gluten-free" or carrying a recognized gluten-free certification, such as the Crossed Grain Certification symbol.
When following a gluten-free diet, it is important to check labels carefully when shopping and dining out. While accidentally consuming gluten may not always cause immediate symptoms, it can still be harmful for people with celiac disease. At the same time, there is no need to feel overwhelmed. Once you become familiar with reading labels, identifying gluten-free foods quickly becomes part of your everyday routine.
