Most of us know that the United States requires gluten free foods to contain no more than 20 parts per million (ppm) of gluten. However, that is not the case for other countries. The chart below will show you that 20ppm is average but Australia is 75% lower than the US and Mexico is 900% higher....what a significant difference!
As a result, when traveling, eating gluten free food from Australia is certainty safe to eat! However, Mexico may not be so safe. Fortunately, when food is imported from other countries, the FDA still requires them to follow our rules. Therefore, imported gluten free foods should always be safe in America.
