Are you suggesting that if I eat some grass fed beef that hasn't been elisa tested, there's a good chance I'm eating gluten? This seems patently ridiculous to me. The elisa test is also flawed - there are situations in which it can't detect hydrolized gluten.
In any case, quantity matters. Trace amounts of gluten due to cross contamination may not be enough to cause people significant problems. You don't have to be 100% gluten free to derive benefits from it.

Yes, because it's been handled in a food chain that deals with a lot of wheat products. > The elisa test is also flawed - there are situations in which it can't detect hydrolized gluten. Yes, but it's the best available for wide-scale screening. > Trace amounts of gluten due to cross contamination may not be enough to cause people significant problems. The standard is ten parts per million. > You don't have to be 100% gluten free to derive benefits from it. If you want to claim to be gluten free you do.
