In Colombia, consumers prefer a variety of gluten-free products across various categories. Popular bakery items like breads, rolls, buns, and cakes let those who have dietary restrictions or gluten-related diseases enjoy everyday foods without risking their health.

Soups and sauces made without gluten improve meal flavours while meeting dietary requirements. For people who crave Italian food, gluten-free pizza and spaghetti are common. For a well-rounded gluten-free diet, other gluten-free products are desired, such as dressings, dairy goods, infant food, and meats and meat substitutes.

Colombian consumers prefer plant-based gluten-free products due to a variety of dietary considerations, cultural familiarity, claimed health benefits, and environmental awareness. In Colombia, solid gluten-free products are preferred over liquid forms due to their convenience, similar texture and taste to gluten-containing alternatives, longer shelf life, and wider culinary applications.
