Why is avoiding hidden wheat-based ingredients important in a gluten-free diet?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: They may be a source of gluten
Wheat commonly contains gluten, and wheat-derived ingredients may be present in sauces, soups, seasonings, bakery products, or processed foods without being obvious. In coeliac disease or medically indicated gluten avoidance, even hidden exposure may trigger intestinal injury or symptoms. Labels and cross-contact must therefore be checked carefully. The reason is gluten control, making A correct.
