Reading a label when you eat gluten-free
Wheat must be declared
Wheat is a major allergen and must be named on US labels. Barley and rye are not, so they can slip by as malt or malt flavoring.
The “gluten-free” claim
In the US, a “gluten-free” label means the food contains less than 20 parts per million of gluten. It is the strongest signal on the package.
Oats are a special case
Oats are naturally gluten-free but often cross-contaminated. Look for oats specifically labeled gluten-free.
No paid placements: brands can't buy a better score.
No affiliate links: we earn nothing when you buy.
Always double-check the package for severe allergies.
Gluten free scanner FAQ
How does Osana detect gluten in a product?
Osana checks the product's allergen data for gluten and scans the ingredient list for wheat, barley, rye, spelt, kamut and triticale.
Is Osana suitable for people with celiac disease?
It is a helpful first filter, but it cannot measure gluten levels or rule out cross-contact. Look for a certified gluten-free label and follow your doctor's advice.
Does a gluten-free product always get a good score?
No. The score looks at nutrition, additives and processing too. A gluten-free cookie can still be ultra-processed, and Osana will tell you so.
Can I use the gluten free scanner for sauces and seasonings?
Yes. Soy sauce, marinades and spice blends are common gluten sources, and they are worth scanning.
Is Osana available on iPhone and Android?
Yes, Osana is available on the App Store and on Google Play.
