The answer to that question is 20 parts per million. The proportion of 20 parts per million is the same as .oo2%. This is also the same as 20 milligrams of gluten per 1 kilogram of food or 20 milligrams of gluten per 35.27 ounces of food. To put it in context, a 1 ounce slice of gluten free bread containing 20 parts per million gluten would contain 0.57 milligrams of gluten.
The FDA rule is that gluten free foods must contain less than 20 parts per million, that is the most any gluten free food can contain and be considered gluten free. You need to watch the amount you eat daily. The studies show, no damage when under 10 milligrams of gluten per day.
What does this all mean? Even if all of the gluten free grain foods you ate contained the maximum allowed gluten, which they probably won't, you would have to eat a lot more then the recommended servings to reach 10 milligrams of gluten.
