I was horrified, because I was worried this was an essential part of the maintenance that I would not be able to do, because there is no way any wheat or gluten is being allowed into any production process in my shop, but was reassured this was purely optional, so I've steered well clear.

However, it could well be that other places are using this stuff quite innocently, not realising just how much harm it could do the coeliac customers.
