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.
It should be noted that an individual can have allergies, intolerance's or sensitivities to wheat without having the dietary concerns for other grains that contain gluten. The following grains, although wheat-free, CONTAIN GLUTEN and must be avoided to ensure a gluten-free meal for your guests:
