You can never merely go by a label that says gluten free and assume that the
product is. Some of this depends on what country you live in. In some
countries, the product is tested and if it has less and some certain number,
then it can be said to be GF. In this country, we have things like Rice
Dream, rice milk. They use barely to polish the rice. Barley contains
gluten. So while the rice is gluten free and it will say gluten free on the
box, there might actually be gluten in the milk and people have reacted to
it. Then there are things that places like Walmart and Trader Joe's sell.
Things like tomato sauce and canned beans. Should be gluten free but made
on shared lines so can contain gluten. Even some gluten free baked goods
are baked in a facility shared with wheat to subject to cross contamination.
And the famous gluten free pizza. I want to say Dominos but not entirely
sure which chain it is. Has a disclaimer that it is not to be eaten by
people with celiac. Because while they are using GF ingredients, they can't
guarantee that the end result is GF.
