                                In a 2017 FDA analysis of products labeled 'gluten-free,' 1.1% were found to contain more than 20 ppm of gluten, which highlights the crucial difference between gluten-free and gluten-free certified products. While both labels indicate a low gluten content, the path to earning each designation is fundamentally different and has major implications for those with celiac disease or severe gluten sensitivities.
