Study Confirms - Gluten Risk from Biodegradable Food Contact Materials
Researchers from the Technical University of Munich have confirmed that gluten can migrate from certain biodegradable food contact materials (FCMs) into gluten-free foods, posing a risk to individuals with coeliac disease. The study found gluten levels as high as 203 mg/L in liquids exposed to wheat bran-based plates, significantly exceeding safe limits. Caution is advised for coeliacs.
