bezglutenow

Bezglutenow refers to the Polish concept of being free from gluten, encompassing foods, diets, and places that do not contain gluten. The term is most closely associated with gluten-free diets designed for people with celiac disease, non-celiac gluten sensitivity, or wheat allergy, but it is used more broadly in consumer and culinary contexts.

In Polish, related terms include bezglutenowy (gluten-free), bezglutenowa żywność (gluten-free food), and produkty bezglutenowe (gluten-free products). The term appears on product packaging, restaurant menus, and health websites, and is part of labeling practices intended to identify gluten-free options.

Regulatory context: In the European Union, gluten-free labeling is subject to thresholds, with products labeled as gluten-free commonly required to contain no more than 20 mg/kg gluten. Some labels such as “very low gluten” allow higher levels under certain regimes. Producers often implement measures to prevent cross-contamination, including dedicated facilities or thorough cleaning.

Dietary and nutritional aspects: Gluten-free substitutes include corn, rice, millet, buckwheat, quinoa, sorghum, tapioca, and various flours and starches. While essential for gluten-related disorders, a bezglutenow diet can risk lower fiber, iron, B vitamins, and calcium intake if not carefully planned; fortified or naturally rich gluten-free options help maintain balanced nutrition.
