Gluten-Free Beverages

Labelling Overview

In Canada, there are regulations to help celiac patients make safe choices when consuming alcoholic beverages. Manufacturers must state that gluten is present on a product label in one of the following ways [1]:

​

1. Stating that gluten is present within a "contains" statement.

2. Declaring gluten is present within the ingredient list if it is provided.

​

Any added allergens, sulphites, and sources of gluten must also be declared if present in an alcoholic beverage at a level of 10 ppm or more [2].
