Terms & Definitions

  • Cross-contact occurs when something that is otherwise gluten free comes into contact with something that has been exposed to gluten, which results in the gluten free item becoming unsafe for a person with celiac disease to consume. Cross-contact cannot be fixed by simply removing the gluten containing item or adjusting cooking methods. The food, dishes and utensils with which it was served need to be replaced.

  • Cross-contamination technically refers to the transfer of harmful bacteria between people, foods and surfaces which can lead to food born illness; this can occur with 100% gluten free foods and surfaces because it is the bacteria that causes illness, not gluten. If cross-contamination occurs, steps can be taken and methods employed to prevent food born illnesses from developing: increase cooking temperature/time, not mixing raw and cooked meat, proper temperature for food storage, for example.

  • Shared kitchen, a kitchen that prepares/serves both gluten containing and gluten free food.
