Common Foods That Contain Gluten

Foods that Contain Gluten

Gluten is a protein that is found in certain grains such as wheat, barley, rye and triticale or "crossbreads" (crosses between wheat and rye).

Gluten exsists in many foods you wouldn't expect. It is found in processed foods and used as a thickening agent in prepared frozen and boxed foods. 

Making these grains gluten-free is a process that removes this protein from the grain.
