Does ICONFIT Wheatgrass Powder contain gluten, and is it safe for those with celiac disease?

Although wheatgrass is harvested from the young leaves of Triticum aestivum (wheat) before the grain develops, the product information explicitly states that this specific ICONFIT Wheatgrass Powder contains gluten. This is a critical distinction because, while pure young wheatgrass shoots are often considered naturally gluten-free in many contexts, commercial processing or the specific botanical definition used here indicates the presence of gluten proteins. Therefore, individuals with celiac disease or non-celiac gluten sensitivity should avoid this product unless they have received specific confirmation from the manufacturer that their batch is certified gluten-free, which is not indicated in the provided details. For those who can tolerate gluten, it is a safe option, but for those requiring a strict gluten-free diet, it is not suitable. Always check the packaging for the most current allergen information, as formulations can change.
