description The number of individuals purchasing gluten-free products is increasing worldwide for various reasons, including celiac disease, gluten intolerance, or following food trends. Our objective was to conduct a review regarding the consumers’ perception on the availability, price, quality, and knowledge about gluten free products. This narrative review screened the databases and identified 26 published research articles on the topic. These articles were analyzed to examine associated parameters, such as availability, price, quality, and consumer knowledge on gluten-free products. The findings highlight the ongoing challenges faced by consumers of gluten-free products, including limited availability, higher prices, issues with product quality, and gaps in knowledge. Addressing these challenges is essential to improve the overall experience of individuals with gluten-related concerns.
