Many gluten-free items, for instance, are now labelled as dairy-free, nut-free, soy-free, or vegan, providing possibilities for people who have different dietary needs or preferences.

Gluten-free products are popular among Americans, with bakery items such as breads, rolls, buns, and cakes being particularly popular. These products provide an alternative to traditional gluten-containing baked goods, allowing those with gluten-related diseases or dietary restrictions to enjoy traditional bakery items without sacrificing taste or texture. Cookies, crackers, wafers, and biscuits are other popular snacks. Those who enjoy baking at home prefer baking mixes and flours. Snacks and ready-to-eat (RTE) items have grown in popularity because they provide convenience and variety without sacrificing taste or variation. Consumers choose gluten-free sauces, dairy products, gluten-free infant food, and meats and meat replacements in the Other Types category. These products add flavour to salads and other dishes while adhering to a diet. Because of its diversity, accessibility, and appropriateness for varied dietary demands, the plant-based category is the most popular source of gluten-free food in the United States.

These adaptable and readily available sources meet a wide range of dietary requirements, including gluten-related diseases, food allergies, and lifestyle preferences, making them a popular choice in the United States.

The United States government has launched a number of steps to encourage the gluten-free sector and assure consumer safety. For those with gluten-related diseases, the Food Allergen Labelling and Consumer Protection Act (FALCPA) requires explicit labelling of key allergens, including wheat. Gluten-free labelling claims are regulated by the FDA, which has established a standardised definition for gluten-free products. The government promotes product research and development through initiatives like Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) funding and collaborations with academic institutions, which promote innovation and product enhancement. These programmes seek to protect consumer health, provide transparency, and promote safe and dependable gluten-free food in the United States. The FDA regulates the gluten-free product market in the United States, with a maximum gluten content of 20 ppm in gluten-free products. Independent verification of gluten-free product conformity is provided by third-party certifications such as the Gluten-Free Certification Organisation (GFCO) and the National Celiac Association's Gluten-Free Certification Programme (GFCP). These certifications necessitate thorough testing, inspections, and strict manufacturing practises, ensuring customer confidence in certified items' gluten-free claims. These regulations, authorities, and certifications work together to ensure the safety and dependability of gluten-free products in the United States. The gluten-free product market is supported by government regulations, certifications, and initiatives aimed at ensuring product safety, accurate labelling, and consumer protection. As the demand for gluten-free products continues to rise, the market is expected to witness further innovation, diversification, and accessibility, catering to the evolving needs and preferences of consumers seeking gluten-free alternatives.
