FAQ
Keeping gluten-free foods separate from regular dishes can prevent cross-contact and ensure the safety of individuals with gluten intolerance or celiac disease. Using clean equipment and separate serving utensils for each dish is an excellent practice to avoid any accidental mixing of gluten and gluten-free ingredients.
It is best practice, especially with cutting boards, to have a separate and strictly gluten-free cutting board.
Check labels on ingredients for sources of gluten which is found in wheat, barely, rye, or oats not labeled gluten-free. Avoid sharing condiments, especially those where a knife is dipped into the jar like mayonnaise, butter, and peanut butter.
Campsite grills can be a potential source of cross-contamination for individuals with Celiac disease. Since gluten cannot be cooked off, there is a risk of gluten residue from previous cooking sessions. It's important for individuals with Celiac disease to take precautions to avoid cross-contamination when using campsite grills, such as using a foil barrier between the grill and the food itself.
