[Avodah] Gluten Free During Pesach

[Rabbi Meir G. Rabi]

Thank you for your observations, R Zev and R Akiva.

In Australia there is zero chance of any wheat or barley etc. in Gluten
Free products because it has legal standing because someone with an
intolerance might die if they ingest a contaminated product.

Recalls of various foods for any number of reasons is not unknown and the
factory that contributed to that issue will be comprehensively audited by a
government agency that shows no mercy. Furthermore, the manufacturers
employ specialists to set up the safety protocols and if they have been
slack they too will be heavily fined.

I understand from my research that these guidelines are applicable in all
first world countries.

Even non-first world countries cannot produce for first world unless they
meet those same strict standards.


Yes R Akiva, I did drift slightly from the subject to the main body.

I find it V difficult to believe that you have personally seen [presumably
in the USA] Certified Gluten Free foods which contain oats. Is it possible
that they were oats that had the gluten removed? Would be indebted if you
might send a pic.

Although as you say, the problem is that we are human and accidents happen;
nevertheless halacha is not predicated upon prodigy absolute guarantees.


Best,

Meir G. Rabi
