If you look on the back of the Estrella Damm bottle you’ll see the following reassuring statement:
“The gluten contained in the barley malt in the beer’s ingredients has been hydrolysed during the production process, guaranteeing that the final product’s gluten content is below 3 PPM, according to the codex alimentarius legislation for gluten-free products.” So there you have it. Now you can have your gluten-free beer and drink it, too.
