Questions and Answers on the Gluten-Free Food Labeling Final Rule

Gluten-Free Labeling of Foods Main Page

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has defined the term “gluten-free” and established conditions for the voluntary use of the term in the labeling of foods. Any food product bearing a “gluten-free” claim must comply with our regulation at § 101.91 (21 CFR 101.91). With this uniform definition and required conditions for its use, consumers with celiac disease can choose foods with greater confidence.

FDA experts answer key questions about the gluten-free food labeling regulation for consumers, industry, and other stakeholders.
