Foods that may be contaminated by gluten during processing
Some foods do not contain gluten on their own but may become contaminated with gluten because of how they are processed. While it may not be necessary to cut them out of your diet, you have to be very selective when buying them. Only buy from sources you can trust made sure to keep them free of gluten. If you can, prepare them yourself.
These foods include [4]:
-
- Fried foods: gluten-free foods fried in restaurants might get contaminated with gluten since they are often fried in the same fryers with gluten-containing items.
- Oats: Oats are sometimes processed on the same equipment gluten-free foods have been made. This can contaminate them with gluten.
