Unfortunately food companies do not have to list gluten on a label wheat is required to be listed since it is one of the top nine most common food allergens but if a food contains Rye or barley or another gluten containing ingredient it may be harder to spot look for labels that say gluten-free or have the gluten-free seal to be on the safe side.
