What does a checker result mean?

A published-guide result is a starting point, with a link to the full guide for context. Read the answer and its conditions together. If the checker offers an AI estimate instead, it is clearly labeled and is not a reviewed guide.

Why does the exact product matter?

A food name alone may not identify the brand, variety, ingredients, or preparation you have in front of you. Compare the guide with the current package, and follow up with the manufacturer when something is unclear.

What should I do if there is no match?

Try a simpler food or ingredient name, choose a suggested search, or browse the categories above. A missing answer is not confirmation that a food is gluten-free. An AI estimate, if offered, should be checked against the product and reliable sources.

Where can I find sources and review notes?

Open the full guide linked in a result to read the available explanation and references. When the checker’s source record includes a review date, it is shown with the answer. AI estimates are labeled separately and do not receive a guide review date.

What does a gluten-free label mean in the U.S.?

For FDA-regulated packaged foods, a “gluten-free” claim means the food must meet the FDA’s ingredient requirements and contain less than 20 parts per million (ppm) of gluten. The claim is voluntary, so its absence does not automatically mean a food contains gluten. Read the FDA’s gluten-free labeling explanation for the full requirements.

Why does preparation matter?

Ingredients are one part of the picture. Gluten can also transfer through contact with other foods or shared equipment during storage, preparation, and serving. For a restaurant meal, ask about both the ingredients and how the food is prepared. See NIDDK’s guidance on cross-contact and our dining-out guides for more help.
