I feel like in that case it’s more like “We now double-check this food wasn’t made in the same area as foods with gluten”. Cross-contamination can be a pita for celiacs
Companies have gotten better about that over the years, but “gluten-free” products are still sometimes made on shared equipment with wheat which means it’s unsafe for celiacs. My SO is a celiac who only buys foods that are either certified gluten-free or labeled gluten-free and not made on shared equipment.

I honestly do not trust those labels without proof
