A gluten-free diet (GFD) is a diet that strictly excludes gluten, a mixture of proteins found in wheat and related grains, including barley, rye, oat, and all their species and hybrids (such as spelt, kamut, and triticale).

The inclusion of oats in a gluten-free diet remains controversial.

Oat toxicity in people with gluten-related disorders depends on the oat cultivar consumed because the immunoreactivities of toxic prolamins are different among oat varieties.

Furthermore, oats are frequently cross-contaminated with other gluten-containing cereals.

A preservative is a substance or a chemical that is added to products such as food, beverages, pharmaceutical drugs, paints, biological samples, cosmetics, wood, and many other products to prevent decomposition by microbial growth or by undesirable chemical changes.

In general, preservation is implemented in two modes, chemical and physical.

Chemical preservation entails adding chemical compounds to the product.

Physical preservation entails processes such as refrigeration or drying.

Preservative food additives reduce the risk of foodborne infections, decrease microbial spoilage, and preserve fresh attributes and nutritional quality.

Some physical techniques for food preservation include dehydration, UV-C radiation, freeze-drying, and refrigeration.

Chemical preservation and physical preservation techniques are sometimes combined.

Flavor (or flavour; see spelling differences) is the sensory impression of food or other substance, and is determined primarily by the chemical senses of taste and smell.

The "trigeminal senses", which detect chemical irritants in the mouth and throat, as well as temperature and texture, are also important to the overall gestalt of flavor perception.

The flavor of the food, as such, can be altered with natural or artificial flavorants which affect these senses.

Eating (also known as consuming) is the ingestion of food, typically to provide a heterotrophic organism with energy and to allow for .

Animals and other heterotrophs must eat in order to survive — carnivores eat other animals, herbivores eat plants, omnivores consume a mixture of both plant and animal matter, and detritivores eat detritus.

Fungi digest organic matter outside of their bodies as opposed to animals that digest their food inside their bodies.

For humans, eating is an activity of daily living.

Some individuals may limit their amount of nutritional intake.

This may be a result of a lifestyle choice, due to hunger or famine, as part of a diet or as religious fasting.

Organic food is food produced by methods that comply with the standards of organic farming.

Standards vary worldwide, but organic farming in general features practices that strive to cycle resources, promote ecological balance, and conserve biodiversity.

Organizations regulating organic products may restrict the use of certain pesticides and fertilizers in farming.

In general, organic foods are also usually not processed using irradiation, industrial solvents or synthetic food additives.
