Abstract:
A new coating for cheese, to be introduced in May, consists entirely of natural degradable components. The coating is based on wheat gluten. This increase in the amount of gluten in the Dutch diet may lead to overt coeliac disease in people with a subclinical form of it, and will limit the dietary choices of patients already suffering from the disease.
