Gluten free beer that has been made from removing the gluten content from barley (this means it contains a gluten containing grain but it tests at 20 ppm or less so by law can be labelled gluten free) must have ‘contains barley’ on the label. This enables you to distinguish it from gluten free beer that has been made from naturally gluten free cereals or pseudocereals and allows you to make a personal choice as to what is right for you.

We are also asking producers to go further and provide additional information to help you make an informed choice. On beers advertised with Coeliac UK or listed in our Food and Drink Information you will see one of the following statements:

1.    Our gluten free beers are made from gluten containing grains where the gluten has been removed.

OR

2.    Our gluten free beers are made from ingredients that do not contain gluten.
