Gluten-free products are alternatives to traditional grain-based
products like bakery, pasta and cereals and are made with alternative
grains and flours, such as rice, corn, amaranth and quinoa. Demand for
gluten-free products will grow with increased diagnosis of celiac
disease, expected to increase worldwide by a factor of 10 during the
next few years. Food marketers are waiting on the FDA to finalize what
"gluten free" really means. Will these new products be packaged in the
same old way? Or will materials with different barrier properties be
needed?
