Oats–Testing shows that most oats have gluten levels beyond the acceptable range for those following gluten-free diets, due to cross-contamination in the milling process. There are currently two manufacturers in North America that produce tested & certified gluten-free oats. Unless you are using certified gluten-free oats, it is recommended that you avoid oats when preparing meals for guests requiring a gluten-free diet.
