When I first embarked on this gluten-free journey, I didn’t take cross-contamination seriously.
I fought the recommendation to buy a separate toaster because toast wasn’t a regular part of my morning meal, anyway.
Truth be told, cross-contamination sounded like one more hurdle I just didn’t want to deal with.
Yet, a series of unexpected incidents convinced me that I was super sensitive to a great number of things, and at that point I caved.
I’ve never regretted it.
The thing is, food can become contaminated – just take a look at your typical toaster tray if you don’t believe me – it will likely be full of crumbs.
And those crumbs can easily be transferred to your food.
