Gluten is a protein found naturally in wheat, rye and barley-based products. These are generally foods such as bread, pasta, wraps, noodles, baked goods, cereals, and breaded and coated foods.
Following a gluten free diet involves removing all gluten-containing foods.
Many non-cereal foods, like sauces, marinades, spice blends and other processed foods, can also contain gluten, so it’s always a good idea to check the ingredients list for wheat, rye and barley, and ingredients derived from these grains.
We’ve put together a simple fact sheet to help you determine how to serve gluten-free foods in your tuckshop.
