It's important to remember that while these apps can provide helpful information, it's still essential to read labels and ingredients lists, as well as verify gluten-free certifications or claims on packaging. Individual sensitivities and dietary needs may vary, so it's always best to exercise caution and consult with a healthcare professional or registered dietitian if you have specific concerns or questions about gluten-free foods.
