| Quote: | If you have read about the definitions of “gluten-free” proposed by both the Food and Drug Administration and the Codex Alimentarius Commission you may be wondering just how much gluten is in a product containing 20 parts per million gluten…
The proportion 20 parts per million is the same as .002%. This is also the same as 20 milligrams of gluten per 1 kilogram of food or 20 milligrams of gluten per 35.27 ounces of food. To put this amount into context, a 1-ounce (28.35 grams) slice of gluten-free bread containing 20 parts per million gluten would contain 0.57 milligrams of gluten. |
