This Regulation establishes the conditions for communicating the absence or reduced presence of gluten in food. Relevant claims must comply with the statements and conditions prescribed in the Annex. Where a food has been specially produced, prepared or processed to reduce gluten content or replace gluten-containing ingredients with naturally gluten-free alternatives, it may also be described as specifically formulated for people intolerant to gluten or specifically formulated for coeliacs. These provisions do not permit gluten-related information on infant formulae or follow-on formulae within the meaning of Directive 2006/141/EC.
