Gluten cross-contamination occurs when gluten-free foods or ingredients come into contact with gluten, generally through shared utensils or a shared cooking/storage environment. Cross-contamination of gluten-free foods can cause adverse effects in people with celiac disease or gluten sensitivities, so it is important to prepare an adequate area for gluten-free prep in your operation.
Identify a 3’x3’ space for dedicated gluten-free prep –
that’s all you need! (Don’t forget your Udi’s® cutting mat!)Designate certain utensils to be used only with
gluten-free foods.Choose which Udi’s® gluten-free products you’ll be
offering – consider individually wrapped for easy and
convenient prep, plus added protection from gluten
cross-contamination.
