Abstract(s)

The incidence of food allergies has been increasing in recent years and among food allergens, gluten has been identified as a major public health concern. Because there is no cure for gluten allergy, its avoidance is the best strategy to allergic individuals. Recently, non-packaged foods sold in the catering businesses were required by law to declare allergens. However, since gluten can be unintentionally introduced into food due to the cross-contamination and non-compliance of good manufacturing practices, improper label declaration may occur
