Gluten-Free Test Result FAQs
What is BLQ?
BLQ stands for “Below the Limit of Quantitation.” In other words, not enough for the equipment to detect. The test can detect as small an amount as 10 parts per million (ppm) gluten. Anything below this level is considered BLQ.
What is the test, and where is it conducted?
The Food Allergen Residue test is conducted at the University of Nebraska in Lincoln. The test is the R-Biopharm RIDASCREEN® FAST Gliadin, which is equally cross-reactive with gluten for wheat, barley, rye and oats.
What is the limit to be considered “gluten-free”?
In the United States, Canada and the EU, a food or beverage must be below 20 ppm gluten to be labeled as gluten-free.
