...I don't get it? Glucose syrup is gluten free. Is there something I'm missing?
~~"gluten free" is an overused marketing thing, they'll slap that label on anything even if it obviously couldn't have gluten in it~~ lots of replies have more informed takes on this than I do
either that or the joke is they have to remind people that glucose and gluten are different things
I'm coming at this from a vegan perspective where you'll find an insane amount of products that are, vegan, but have like 1,2% milk powder added for what I assume is either filler or some tax loophole in select market since milk powder is dirt cheap and would usually be classified a dairy product. Doesn't seem out of the question there's lots of shit out there where they just huck in a sprinkling of gluten to save 2 cents per 1000 pcs or so
Yeah unfortunately happens a lot. I think caramel color for example often can, (but doesn’t always) contain gluten. I had bought some fries or something for my wife a while back that said they were gluten free but had caramel color and they ended up messing her up so I assume it had a certain amount that was below the mandated threshold
