                                According to the Celiac Disease Foundation, oats are often grown, processed, and transported alongside wheat, barley, and rye. This fact means that while pure oats do not contain wheat, most standard instant oatmeal products carry a significant risk of cross-contamination, making them unsuitable for those with a wheat allergy or celiac disease.
