The biggest difference is not the gluten limit; it’s how each region treats oats on the ingredient list and what proof or wording shoppers can expect.

If you buy, grow, process, or formulate with oats, you need to understand where gluten risk enters the supply chain and which innovations reduce that risk before oats become oatmeal, flour, granola, or oat milk.
