Gluten Testing for Food Manufacturers, Restaurants and Food Service Operators in Canada falls under Health Canada regulations. These regulations recognize the Codex Alimentarius Standard for Foods for Special Dietary Use for Persons Intolerant to Gluten (Codex Stan 118-1979) which states that the gluten content of foods labelled gluten-free shall not exceed 20 ppm (parts-per-million).
Gluten-free has become more than just a lifestyle trend over the years; it is necessary for many individuals with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity. For this reason, brands should identify their products as safe for consumers who follow a gluten-free diet.
Food service industry establishments must be aware that the gluten-free community has three core groups, in order to gain a competitive edge in the gluten-free market.
