Estimated Levels of Gluten Incidentally Present in a Canadian Gluten-Free Diet

A study looking into gluten exposure experienced by Canadians with Celiac disease, following a gluten free diet. The study confirms that with a threshold set at 20 ppm of gluten in “gluten free foods” as adopted by Health Canada, Canadians’ exposure to gluten residues would be maintained at levels lower than 10 mg per day, which is the clinical gluten threshold currently established for individuals with Celiac disease. The study also identifies areas of priority for food commodities targeted and consumed by Canadians with Celiac disease, which need to be consistently maintained Gluten free i.e. at levels consistently lower than 20ppm of gluten detected.
