Celiac disease has a name in every language on this map. What doesn't change is what it takes to live with it safely: reading labels, asking questions, trusting that “gluten-free” actually means gluten-free.
That's the work we show up for every day — not just the awareness part, but the verification part. On National Celiac Disease Awareness Day, observed in the US, we're thinking less about visibility and more about the systems that make gluten-free claims worth trusting.
Gluten-free news from six countries in one quick read. Here’s what happened around the world over the past few weeks.
Recalls:
UK alerts covered Minton & Donello Organic White Orzo and Capsicana Easy Going Mild Salsa for undeclared wheat or barley gluten, while France recalled Leclerc Pain protéines + after bread labeled GF was found to contain gluten.

A gluten-free hotel? Yes, they exist.
More hotels around the world are beginning to strengthen their GF procedures, staff training, and guest support systems — helping make travel feel more welcoming and accessible for people with gluten-related disorders, families, and groups.
Celiac disease raises the risk of eating disorders, a new drug shows effects beyond the gut, and a popular podcast reminded us why awareness still matters. Check out this edition of The Gluten-Free Brief: glutenfreefoodprogram.com/br…

UK retailer M&S reports selling over 10k gluten-free "Colin the Caterpillar" cakes in the first 5 days of its launch. The success reflects high demand, with 79% of M&S shoppers buying gluten-free products manufactured via a dedicated production line. (@marksandspencer)
The Moghal & Soldera study (2025) found that stool testing has 85.1% sensitivity compared to 55.4% for urine for monitoring gluten intake. While urine captures intake within hours, stool testing identifies "hidden" exposures occurring over several days. (@Life_MDPI)
