Introduction:
People with celiac disease can join the military training centers and and their diet during training exercises can be done through combat rations, individual or collective rations.
Objective:
To quantify the gluten in the combat rations with precautionary labeling of allergens (PAL) or gluten-free in its composition.
Material and Methods:
39 individual operational rations samples (23 with PAL and 16 without cereals with gluten in their composition) and 6 collective rations (without cereals with gluten in their composition) were analyzed using a commercial enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) kit.
Results:
All samples were below the limit of quantification (< 5mg/kg of gluten) and the results met the quality criteria.
Conclusions:
The gluten results obtained on the samples and batches analyzed show a low risk of exposure.
