The article discusses the rise of plant-based milk alternatives, particularly focusing on oat milk's popularity due to its creamy texture and flavor. However, it highlights a critical issue for those with celiac disease: not all oat milk is gluten-free. While oats themselves don't contain gluten, cross-contamination can occur during production. The FDA regulates gluten-free labels but doesn't require testing of products before they hit the market. Therefore, individuals needing to avoid gluten should seek certified gluten-free oat milk for safety.
Even if nothing glutenous is listed among the ingredients, without specific labels or certification, there’s no guarantee oat milk is gluten-free.
Oat milk is exceedingly popular for its creamy texture and flavor, but consumers should not assume it's gluten-free without proper certification.
