Regulators across the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) are moving to tighten the rules surrounding gluten-free claims. New standards have been submitted to the World Trade Organisation (WTO) to ensure greater consistency and accuracy in food labelling.

According to FoodNavigator Europe, these updated regulations aim to provide clearer guidelines for manufacturers operating within the region. The move is expected to bring more rigour to how gluten-free products are certified and marketed to consumers.
