When following a gluten-free diet, knowing how to choose truly safe products is essential to avoid cross-contamination and maintain your health. But how can you identify reliable items on the shelves?
The first step is to always read the labels carefully and look for official seals, such as the “Gluten-Free” seal recognized by regulatory bodies. In addition, choose brands that have clear certifications and policies on quality control. Also pay attention to the small print: ingredients such as maltodextrin, modified starches and other derivatives can hide the presence of gluten.
Remember that artisanal or homemade products sold without registration may not guarantee the absence of gluten, even if they claim to be free of this protein. And if in doubt, consult your nutritionist for personalized guidance.
