Nutrients, Vol. 11, Pages 1924: Accidental Gluten Contamination in Traditional Lunch Meals from Food Services in Brasilia, Brazil (Nutrients)
 


This study aimed to evaluate the occurrence of gluten contamination in naturally gluten-free meals from food services in the Federal District, Brazil. This is an exploratory cross-sectional quantitative study in which a total of 180 samples of naturally gluten-free dishes were collected from 60 food services in Brazil. The enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was used for the quantification of gluten. As established by the Codex Alimentarius, the threshold of 20 ppm of gluten was considered as the accepted upper gluten level for gluten-free food. A total of 2.8% (95% CI: 0.3–5.2%) gluten contamination was found in the samples. Among the 60 food services, 6.7% (95% CI: 2.7–10.6%) displayed at least one contaminated food in our sample. The occurrence of gluten contamination in naturally gluten-free preparations was uncommon and low on a quantitative basis.
