How can something be gluten free “per serving”?

1.21K views

Doesn’t that mean there *is* gluten somewhere in there, and wouldn’t that mean it isn’t actually gluten free?

I’m eating sour gummy worms. There are 7 servings in the container averaging out to about 9 gummies per serving. Before anyone asks, no, I’m not gluten free/intolerant.

Gluten is present only in certain grains (wheat, rye, buckwheat, etc), so any food that doesn’t contain those is inherently gluten free… including gummy worms.

If a food *does* contain those grains, it’s not gluten free. It’s one or the other.

No clue why they would say “per serving,” possibly just poor label design.

Side note: “glutinous rice” contains no gluten 🤷‍♂️
