One of listmates stated lately:

>>in Europe celiacs are "allowed foods with up to 3% gluten
>>content".  I have been wondering if celiacs in Europe have more
>>complications

Of course it isn't truth.
The allowable gliadin content in GF products in Europe is 10
micrograms per 1 g and it is 0,001 %. "Nil novi sub sole" - this
standard comes from Codex Alimentarius FAO/WHO.

BTW - total protein content in wheat starch powder (ordinary type) is
0,3 % - according to manufacturers certificate. I don't know what
part of this value is gliadin. Starch content is 87 % and water
content is ca. 13 % by weight (humidity).
