* Get in touch with your local Caeliac/Gluten-free society, and see if they could spread the word about the collaborative effort of Open Food Facts (members can benefit, but can also help, and it can spark enthusiasm)

== Objective ==
 +
 +
Analyze the list of product ingredients to establish whether:
 +
* the product contains gluten
 +
*the product may contain gluten
 +
* the product does not contain gluten
 +
 +
== Identification ==
 +
 +
Using 3 lists of ingredients (contains, possibly contains, and does not contain gluten), we can analyze the list of ingredients, and thus identify the presence of gluten in the products.
 +
 +
Please note: the absence of gluten will only be possible for products where all the ingredients are present in the “does not contain lactose” list.
 +
 +
* Ingredients containing gluten
 +
* Ingredients possibly containing gluten
 +
* Ingredients not containing gluten
 +
 +
In order to first sort the ingredients most present in the products, you can look at the [http://world.openfoodfacts.org/ingredients list of all ingredients] and sort it by number of products.
 +
 +
== Uses ==
 +
 +
=== Indication of the presence or non-presence of gluten ===
 +
 +
In the product sheets on the site and on the mobile applications.
 +
 +
=== Search ===
 +
 +
Look for products without, with, or possibly containing gluten.
 +
 +
== Notes ==
 +
 +
== Additional ideas ==
 +
* Improve support for cross-contamination with a knowledge panel giving the factory status, in addition to the ingredient detection. Eg: "Gluten-free from ingredients. Mention that the factory handles gluten." or: "Gluten-free certified. Verified gluten free from ingredients"
