Test Kit: Imutest Gluten-in-Food Kit

Test result: There is no indication of the presence of gluten. According to the instructions there should appear a clearly visible pink test spot on the left of the test area ( T ) to indicate the presence of gluten. But this test is negative. The pink spot on the right test area ( C ) is a control spot and indicates that the extract/sample is suitable, the test has been performed correctly and all reagents are active. Even though the detection limit in this kit is very low (1-2 ppm) and the test is negative please note this is not a medical advice – please see also my facts page.

    Good work Steffen. I have never heard of Dorada, but we will be doing some travelling in UK/Europe next year including a cruise to the Canary Islands to and from Southampton. I will have to get some Dorada and bring it back on board the ship.

    Hi Steffen , can you tell me have you carried out a test on Tropical to see if it is safe for celiacs like myself to drink ?

    Thought I would ask from which cities/countries the posters on this site come from? Interesting to know.

    I am from Batemans Bay, Australia, a coastal town, 300 km south of Sydney.

      Hi David, that’s good news, thanks a lot! It’s so helpful to see the experience of other Celiacs like you and the Swedish lady. That was also my experience, no reaction on Dorada.

      Heineken only failed the 5 ppm test, so it was tested below 20 ppm but above 5 ppm. According to Codex Alimentarius it would be gluten free (all below 20 ppm is considered gluten free). Anyway, I also never had a reaction on Heineken.

      Cheers Steffen
