Swiss company, QualySense - has developed a robot to inspect oats for gluten-free labeling of breakfast cerealsHealth claims relate a food substance to the reduced risk of a disease or to a health-related condition, and depend on the quality of the raw materials. Here we focus on ready-to-eat 'gluten-free' breakfast cereals. Some cereals are gluten-free by nature. However, they can be contaminated with gluten that is carried by grains such as wheat, barley and rye, this can happen at any time.For this reason food processors must ensure high purity levels of the end products. This is achieved by running accurate, lengthy and frequent inspections on selected samples to identify gluten contamination.
