Could you please clarify the status of the cereal: OATS? Some sources indicate that it is gluten-free. Thank you.
As a gluten-free food, a manufacturer can label a product based on legislative rules if it contains less than 20 mg of gluten per 1 kg of food. Some types of oats meet this requirement, so you may encounter this label despite the fact that oats are generally classified as gluten-containing grains.
