What does 20ppm gluten really look like?
Video taken from the channel: Children’s National Hospital
The legal standard for gluten-free food in the United States is for the food to contain “less than 20 parts per million of gluten.” Foods that meet this legal standard contain less than 0.002% gluten. You’ve almost certainly seen references to ” parts per million ” on various gluten-free products.As one of the criteria for using the claim “gluten-free,” FDA set a limit of less than 20 ppm (parts per million) for the unavoidable presence of gluten in foods that carry this label.
That is the.Besides the limit of gluten to 20 ppm, the rule permits labeling a food “gluten-free, if the food does not contain: An ingredient that is any type of wheat, rye, barley, or crossbreeds of these.The proportion 20 parts per million is the same as.002%. This is also the same as 20 milligrams of gluten per 1 kilogram of food or 20 milligrams of gluten per 35.27 ounces of food.
To put this amount into context, a 1-ounce (28.35 grams) slice of gluten-free bread containing 20 parts per million gluten would contain 0.57 milligrams of gluten.For a packaged food to be rightly labeled “gluten-free,” it not only must have less than 20 ppm of gluten, but also may not contain gluten-containing grains, or gluten-containing grains where the gluten protein has not been removed, or grains where the gluten protein has been removed but the use of such ingredient results in greater than 20 ppm gluten in the final food.For example, a product is referred to as “20 ppm” if it contains less than 20 ppm of gluten. This means the product may contain anywhere from as many as 19 ppm of gluten down to zero gluten. As a practical matter, we should all assume the worst and treat that product as containing 19 ppm.
In order to comply with this definition, the product in question must contain less than 20 parts per million of gluten. There is no rule that foods must be labeled gluten free and there is no restriction on which foods can carry the label – even naturally gluten free foods like fresh produce or water.Foods with a gluten-free label are required to have less than 20 ppm (parts per million) of gluten, according to the Food & Drug Administration (FDA). But it’s best to always read the ingredients.The answer depends on what you mean by “a little bit.” The Food and Drug Administration is in the process of developing a rule for the labeling of foods as gluten free.
Currently the proposed rule states that food labeled “gluten free” must contain less than 20 parts per million of gluten. This is a teeny tiny amount.Under 20 ppm * Though standards vary from country to country, according to the FDA, “In order to use the term ‘gluten free’ on its label a food must meet all the requirements of the definition, including that the food must contain less than 20 ppm (parts per million) gluten.”.
As a protein found in grains like wheat and barley, gluten is also present in most beer. The gluten levels in beer depend on the brewing method used, and thus vary from one brand to the next. For a beer to be considered gluten-free, it must contain less than 20 parts per million (ppm) of gluten.Across most of the world, for a food to be labelled gluten-free it must contain less than 20 parts per million (ppm) of gluten. What this means is that gluten-free food is not devoid of gluten.
It.This law means that you can be sure that any product labelled ‘gluten free’ contains 20 parts per million of or less of gluten, which is a safe level for all people following a gluten free diet.Although the beers meet the international gluten-free standard of containing less than 20 parts per million of gluten, they do not meet U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) standards, which require that because they are made from ingredients containing gluten (barley), therefore they must be labeled “gluten-reduced” instead of “gluten-free.”.
Sounds silly, but until now, the term “gluten free” hadn’t been regulated or even defined. An FDA ruling last August determined that it can only be used on foods containing less than 20 parts per.

Test 24 times? Is that taking 24 samples in a typical batch and then testing each sample individually and segregating sublots of the batch, if they fail? I believe GM takes the 24 samples and combines them into one sample that is then tested and represents the whole batch. Wouldn’t this give you an average result, but not detect failing sublots?
How much exactly did General Mills, Quaker, and the like pay you to present this video sharing information that will definitely harm the gluten-free public? I hope that everyone in the gluten-free community will see this video for exactly what it is and not give you another dollar of support.
I tried specially grown gluten free oats when they were first available. One bowl and my ataxia symptoms came back, so no more oats for me.
Even if the oats are below 20ppm gluten, they will still contain avenin. Avenin is a protein in oats similar to gluten, and it has been found that perhaps 1/10 coeliacs will also have problems with it.
What these “professionals” do not disclose is that the levels of glyphosate (roundup) are highest in oats.
Fun fact. All cereal grains have glutens.. it’s the gliaden with wheat rye barley that trigger of celiac.
Not every box of Cheerios falls below the 20ppm. They combine a number of boxes into “one” sample that is pulverized and tested. It is that sample that is below 20ppm. Some boxes may be 5ppm and some may be 35ppm. My daughter, who is celiac and has no problem with GF oats, became very ill when eating Cheerios, which she believed were safe. We do not trust them anymore.
Also, the North American Society for the Study of Celiac Disease statement on oats includes this:
The decision to include any type of oats in a patient’s gluten-free diet should be discussed with the patients’ doctor and dietitian and should include monitoring of anti-tissue transglutaminase (anti-tTG) antibody levels before and after their commencement. Persistent or recurrent symptoms should prompt an assessment that may include an intestinal biopsy.
Maybe you should disclose that General Mills is a “Principal Benefactor” of the Mayo Clinic, which according to your website means they give between 1-10 million dollars a year to The Mayo Clinic.
Cheerios safety is debatable at best, to liken it to “winning the lottery” is absurd.
