It is imperative that those who are sensitive to gluten can be confident consuming foods that are labelled gluten-free or that are naturally gluten-free. The only process capable of ensuring that a product is 100% gluten-free is to utilize 100% gluten-free grains. For beer that is rendered gluten-free, the competitive R5 ELISA method is capable of detecting hydrolysed prolamins that remain in beer. The prescribed determination of gluten in beer is using RIDASCREEN® Gliadin competitive kit. This method is equivalent to the ASBC Method of Analysis Beer-49. According to the AOECS standard for gluten-free foods, the R5-competitive ELISA should always be applied to fermented and partly hydrolysed products like beer.
