Are the Abundant Earth puffed grains gluten free?


Abundant Earth has four organic puffed grains- Kamut, Rice, Millet and Corn. There are also non-organic options- Corn, Rice and Millet. With the exception of Kamut, all these grains are in and of themselves free from gluten and wheat. However the packaging does stipulate that these cereals aren't certified 100% gluten free, purely because they are not made in a gluten free facility.

For individuals adopting a gluten free diet for desirable health effects, consuming any of these puffed grains would be absolutely fine. However, in the case of coealics, even trace levels of gluten can disrupt the digestive system. While some coeliacs monitor the safety of certain foods by the physical reaction, in this case we advise to purchase and consume only those products that have been made in a completely gluten free environment. Presently the ruling for this is that anything above approximately 3 parts gluten per million is considered 'contaminated' for coeliacs.

Abundant Earth puffed grains are a wonderfully healthy and fibre-filled addition to breakfast or baking but are best consumed by those who are not diagnosed with coealic disease.
