Can biodegradeable food packages contaminate gluten free food?

Three independent studies conducted by different European coeliac societies reveal that gluten can migrate from biodegradable containers into packaged gluten free food.

The results of the studies showed that gluten free food was contaminated with gluten with values well over the maximum gluten threshold allowed for coeliac food consumption.

At the moment, European legislation does not regulate the use of allergens in Food Contact Materials (FCM) such as packages and tableware.

In this webinar, we will present the findings from the studies to the public to start a debate about the risks of using biodegradeable packages containing gluten and seek for possible ways forward.
