Best Answer

When labels say "may contain wheat" or any other ingredient, it often means the factory in which the food was made also makes foods with wheat as one of the ingredients. If you have a severe allergy to a certain food (shellfish, peanuts, wheat, et cetera), do not eat anything that says "may contain wheat" and always read the ingredients list; on some chocolates, it states "may contain milk" when milkfat is one of the main ingredients, so just be careful if you have food Allergies.

If a recipe is gluten free is it wheat free?

Since wheat does contain gluten, you would think so. However, researchers have been developing gluten-free wheat for gluten-free diets, so there is the rare case where you can have something that is gluten free but DOES contain wheat. In the USA, this wheat would be labeled on the package. And of course, a wheat-free recipe is not necessarily gluten-free, since there exist other sources of gluten besides wheat.

Why do you test allergic to spelled but NOT to wheat or is that a testing error?

i have never been tested for spelt or wheat allergy but I do know that after eating a spelt tortilla I developed severe stuffiness. I don't usually get that with wheat only products like freshly cooked wheat pasta (organic). I think I am allergic or sensitive to spelt but not necessarily to wheat. I believe spelt isn't exactly wheat per se. So I would have to say that it's possible to test allergic to spelt but not to wheat. My nose does not lie.
