Japan’s “non-gluten” standard
日本だけの「ノングルテン」基準
Gluten-free rice flour is gaining popularity worldwide. Gluten has been used in bread, confections, and noodles to produce a sticky, springy, and chewy texture. However, there are many people in the United States and Europe with celiac disease and other gluten allergies who are sensitive to the gluten contained in wheat and other ingredients. Gluten-free products and meals are being created for people with gluten allergies, and rice flour is an ingredient that can be used in the same way as flour made from wheat and other grains. In contrast to wheat flour, rice flour contains no gluten, so its potential is gaining attention.
Organizations like the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in the United States and the European Community (EC) in Europe have set a standard of 20 ppm of gluten or less (less than 20 ppm for the FDA) for labeling a food as gluten-free. As allergies are affected by a person’s weight, physique, and physical condition, an even stricter standard called “non-gluten” has been established in Japan. It requires a gluten content of 1 ppm or less. Products that are certified in a strict inspection are marked with an official non-gluten label. Rice does not naturally contain any gluten, making it safe for people following a gluten-free diet. So, it is a food that enriches the diet of people with gluten allergies.
Potential of Rice-Flour Jelly Made from High-Amylose Rice as a Dysphagia Diet: Evaluation of Pharyngeal Residue by FEES

Abstract
Dysphagia diets are recommended to prevent choking and aspiration in people with dysphagia; however, rice-porridge and mashed rice-porridge, which are used as staple foods for people with dysphagia in Japan, are time-consuming to prepare. The National Agriculture and Food Research Organization has found jelly-like food products made from high-amylose rice-flour (rice-flour jelly) to be easy to prepare with a texture suitable for dysphagia diets. To investigate the potential of rice-flour jelly for the dysphagia diet, we evaluated the amount of pharyngeal residue after swallowing rice-flour jelly using fiberoptic endoscopic evaluation of swallowing and compared it with those of rice-porridge, mashed rice-porridge, and fruit jelly. We enrolled 70 participants (43 males and 27 females, aged 32-96 years, median 74.5 years) and evaluated their pharyngeal residue using the Yale Pharyngeal Residue Severity Rating Scale which includes five levels from I (none) to V (severe). Statistical analysis showed that level I was more common in fruit jelly for vallecula residue and pyriform sinus residue, and level III (mild) was more common in rice-porridge for vallecula residue (p < 0.05). No differences of pharyngeal residue were found in rice-flour jelly or mashed rice-porridge. No significant difference was observed in the number of participants with laryngeal penetration or aspiration. Therefore, rice-flour jelly is a suitable alternative to rice-porridge as a staple food for people with dysphagia in terms of food texture.
