Reported risk: Health Canada is cautioning Canadians with severe wheat allergies that other cereal grains, such as oats or barley, may contain low levels of wheat because of the way these grains are grown and harvested. While most Canadians with wheat allergies only react to higher levels of exposure, it is important for those sensitive to even small amounts of wheat to pay special attention when reading ingredient labels. Children with wheat allergies, in particular, are more prone to being sensitive to low levels of wheat than allergic adults.
