WHAT: Is There Gluten in That Food? The Ins and Outs of Testing

WHEN: December 8^th, 5 pm PST/ 8 pm EST

How do you know the food you eat is gluten-free? Most of us look for a gluten-free label or certification mark on packaged foods, but may not be aware of what is behind that labeling. Testing is an important part of the process.  Our expert panelists will explain the details of testing to give you a better understanding of how it helps assure that your gluten-free food is safe.  We’ll also discuss special considerations that impact how to interpret results of personal test kits used for prepared foods.

This session will cover:

• Why testing for gluten is so complicated
• The use of rapid test kits, both by industry and individuals
• The interpretation of test results
• Why you might get a positive result with one kit and not another
• “Hot spots” and the averaging of test results
• Challenges with taking samples from whole grains
• GFCO testing overview
