Important Announcement
If you see Wheat Starch on the back of your gluten-free bag don't be alarmed!
Please Read!
Gluten free wheat starch, also known as Codex wheat starch, is a specially produced ingredient where the gluten has been removed to a trace level. It is used by some manufacturers to improve the quality and texture of gluten free products. It must always appear in the ingredients list if it has been used. Gluten free wheat starch is a product of wheat, but it is specially manufactured wheat starch. In essence, the wheat starch is washed so that the level of gluten is within the Codex standard of 20 parts per million (ppm). This means it can be classed as gluten free. This level (20 parts per million) is what the law states is suitable for consumption by people with coeliac disease. By law we have to list the wheat starch in bold being in the ingredient list, even though it has been marked as safe for a Gluten Free diet.
