What is this? A French food product says “gluten-free” but also warns it “may contain traces of gluten.” This can be confusing.
What's happening? The product’s claim and warning do not match. It might have small bits of gluten even though it says gluten-free.
Does this affect me? If you eat gluten-free food because of celiac disease or allergy, this product may not be safe for you.
What should I do? Stop eating it and ask your doctor or pharmacist what to use instead.
