sind dinkelflocken glutenfrei — what are common causes?

Spelt flakes are not gluten-free. Spelt (Triticum spelta) is an ancient wheat species and contains gluten, specifically gliadin and glutenin proteins. People with celiac disease or non-celiac gluten sensitivity should avoid spelt flakes. Common causes of confusion: 1) Marketing as 'easier to digest' wheat – spelt has a different gluten profile but is not safe for those with gluten disorders. 2) Processing: some products are labeled 'gluten-reduced,' which is misleading. 3) Cross-contamination during milling or manufacturing can introduce additional gluten. The only exception is specially certified gluten-free spelt flakes, which undergo extensive processing to remove gluten – such products are rare and expensive. When in doubt, always check for a certified 'gluten-free' label. The evidence is strong: spelt is not a gluten-free grain.
