The Ultimate Guide to Gluten in Beer

As one of the criteria for using the claim “gluten free,” the FDA set a limit of less than 20 ppm (parts per million) for the unavoidable presence of gluten in foods that carry this label. That is the lowest level that can be consistently detected in foods using valid scientific analytical tools. It’s important to be aware of the potential long-term health problems associated with gluten ingestion for individuals whose bodies cannot properly digest it. Due to the significant variability in gluten tolerance, those with gluten sensitivities must exercise caution when considering beers containing gluten. As a precautionary measure, seeking personalized advice from a healthcare professional is always recommended.

Everyone’s tolerance for gluten is different. Some living with a gluten free diet feel safe to consume beers that test for under 20 PPM gluten. A community of people testing the gluten content of beers that are made with gluten containing ingredients has emerged. Whatever your reason is for wanting to drink these beers while being gluten free, here is all the information you need.
