Union and national legislation, taking into account the nutritional characteristics of people suffering from celiac disease, places special requirements on food intended for this specific segment of the population, so that they can consume it safely. This is achieved by specially treating foods consisting of or containing one or more ingredients of wheat, rye, barley, oats or their cross-varieties to reduce gluten and / or substituting wheat, rye, barley, oats or their cross-varieties with other gluten-free ingredients. These foods must be labeled "gluten free" or "very low in gluten", provided that the gluten content of the final product does not exceed 20 mg/Kg or 100 mg/Kg of product respectively.
For packaged foods, the consumer should carefully read the list of ingredients on food labels, as the food may contain gluten or even traces of it.
In the case of unpackaged food available directly to the final consumer, information on the presence of gluten must be readily available and accessible at the place of sale - the supply of unpackaged food or in the case of distance selling, before the checkout.
Gluten intolerance should not be an alibi for avoiding starchy foods, which are the basis of the Mediterranean Diet and have multiple health benefits.
People suffering from celiac disease are advised to choose gluten-free products as well as to adopt healthy dietary choices.
Focus on the foods that you can consume and not the things that you can not.
