Is wheat starch gluten free?

Gluten-free wheat starch is well tolerated by most people affected by celiac disease. When producing gluten-free wheat starch, the water-soluble gluten is removed from the wheat starch by sluicing and centrifugation. The more the wheat starch is washed, the greater the reduction in protein content.
According to the Codex Alimentarius Commission and the EU decree of January 20, 2009 food items with a maximum of 20 ppm of gluten are considered “gluten free.” Food items with 21-100 ppm must carry the indication “slight gluten content” or “low in gluten.” The wheat starch must still be mentioned in the list of ingredients and highlighted as an allergen. Attention: wheat-allergy sufferers should avoid products that contain gluten-free wheat starch since the wheat protein is the allergy trigger and not the grain protein “gluten” component.
At the moment, we have three products with gluten-free wheat starch in our range:
Croissants
Pain Au Chocolat
Golden Waffles

FAQs

  • The Difference Between a Food Allergy and a Food Intolerance

    Many people experience symptoms after eating certain foods, but not all food-related reactions are the same. Two of the most common causes are food allergies and food intolerances. While they can share some symptoms, they involve different processes...
  • Are follow-ups necessary with celiac disease?

    After 1-2 years of a gluten-free diet, no further invasive checkups are necessary.
  • Is sensitivity to wheat/gluten a milder form of Celiac disease?

    No it's not. As soon as you've clarified everything with the doctor and moved to a gluten-free diet, you must stick to it to see positive changes. Gluten/wheat sensitivity is a distant relative with symptoms and characteristics which are very similar...
  • What happens if people not suffering from Coeliac disease follow a gluten free diet?

    Nothing happens. It does no damage, but it is also pointless. And you get to eat less cake, pizza and bread. You are allowed to share your food with everyone else, but they can't share with you.
  • How long do I have to wait after my diagnosis before I feel better?

    The worst symptoms will disappear as soon as you start eating a gluten-free diet. You will feel noticeably better relatively quickly. Your doctor will determine everything else.
