What it is
A crust made without gluten-containing grains like wheat, barley, or rye. It is typically made from a blend of gluten-free flours such as rice flour, tapioca starch, potato starch, and sometimes corn starch or sorghum flour, along with binders like xanthan gum or psyllium husk.
Why it's used
Used as a base for pizzas and other baked goods where a gluten-free option is desired. It provides a similar texture and structure to traditional crusts, allowing consumers with gluten sensitivities or celiac disease to enjoy these foods.
Health notes
Gluten-free crusts are primarily a dietary choice for individuals with celiac disease or non-celiac gluten sensitivity. For the general population, there is no established health benefit to avoiding gluten. Regulatory bodies like the FDA oversee food labeling to ensure accuracy regarding gluten content. JECFA and EFSA have evaluated many individual ingredients used in gluten-free crusts for safety.
Allergen info
Gluten-free crusts are not derived from wheat, barley, or rye, which are sources of gluten. However, cross-contamination can occur during processing, so certified gluten-free products are recommended for those with celiac disease. Wheat is a major allergen; gluten itself is not classified as one of the 9 major allergens.
