What is gluten-free?<\/h2>\n

Gluten-free refers to foods and a way of eating that don't contain the protein \"gluten\" found in wheat, barley, rye, and the like. A diet that avoids gluten draws attention not only for the health management of people with allergies or celiac disease (an autoimmune disorder) but recently also as a lifestyle mindful of beauty and improving the gut environment.<\/p>\n

In the food and health-food industries, measures to label and certify products as \"gluten-free\" and provide clear value to target segments are expanding. In Europe, the U.S., and Southeast Asia in particular,Vegan<\/a>\u30fbOrganic<\/a>it has become one important food keyword, alongside<\/p>\n

The features and background of gluten-free<\/h2>\n

Gluten-free forms a large market thanks to modern rising health-consciousness and lifestyle diversification, in addition to medical necessity.<\/p>\n

The main characteristics and background are as follows:<\/p>\n

Target conditions and constitutions<\/strong>: a certain number of people need to avoid gluten, due to celiac disease, gluten sensitivity, wheat allergy, and the like.<\/p>\n

Demand from beauty and health orientation<\/strong>: also popular among those concerned about swelling, rough skin, the gut environment, and the like.<\/p>\n

Systems and certification<\/strong>: Japan has no clear certification system, but in the U.S., gluten-free certification marks such as the \"GFCO<\/a>\" enhance the trustworthiness of distribution.<\/p>\n

Diversification of alternative ingredients<\/strong>: breads, noodles, baked goods, and more using rice flour, buckwheat flour, almond flour, tapioca flour, and the like keep appearing one after another.<\/p>\n

FAQ<\/h2>\n

Q1. Do gluten-free and wheat-allergy response mean the same thing?<\/strong>
A. They're similar but distinct concepts. Gluten-free avoids gluten (a protein mainly found in wheat), but people with a wheat allergy may react to components other than gluten, so even stricter management is required.<\/p>\n

Q2. What should I watch for when making gluten-free food?<\/strong>
A. You need to be careful not only about raw materials but also about \"Contamination<\/a>(contamination)\" on manufacturing lines and in the factory. Processing in an environment where gluten is completely excluded is the point for gaining trust.<\/p>\n

Q3. Do gluten-free products need a certification mark?<\/strong>
A. If you're considering overseas expansion, third-party certification such as GFCO is effective for enhancing brand trustworthiness. In Japan it's voluntary labeling, but labeling it clearly for consumers is essential.<\/p>","protected":false},"featured_media":813,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"swell_btn_cv_data":"","ssp_meta_description":"\u30b0\u30eb\u30c6\u30f3\u30d5\u30ea\u30fc\u3068\u306f\u3001\u5c0f\u9ea6\u3084\u5927\u9ea6\u3001\u30e9\u30a4\u9ea6\u306a\u3069\u306b\u542b\u307e\u308c\u308b\u305f\u3093\u3071\u304f\u8cea\u300c\u30b0\u30eb\u30c6\u30f3\u300d\u3092\u542b\u307e\u306a\u3044\u98df\u54c1\u3084\u98df\u4e8b\u6cd5\u306e\u3053\u3068\u3092\u6307\u3057\u307e\u3059\u3002","ssp_meta_keyword":"\u30b0\u30eb\u30c6\u30f3\u30d5\u30ea\u30fc","ssp_meta_canonical":"","ssp_meta_robots":"","ssp_meta_title":""},"tags":[69],"class_list":["post-498","word","type-word","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tag-ingredient"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/agriture.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/word\/498","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/agriture.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/word"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/agriture.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/word"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/agriture.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/813"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/agriture.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=498"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/agriture.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=498"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
