I found a news story which said:

"Wheat is the main ingredient in breads, pastry, breakfast cereal, crackers, pasta and pizza. It's also in condiments, most vinegars, salt, spices, food extracts, beer, licorice, canned soups and bouillon cubes."

Some of the above is true, but gluten in salt?  I don't think so! The statement is inconsistent with reality. Is it supposed to be in the sodium or in the chlorine?

And in "most vinegars"? Wrong again. Most vinegars are GF.

The article is here:

It's good to see celiac disease getting more press coverage, but accuracy is important too.
