My wife had to be on a wheat-free diet for about a year because of a temporary medical/medication situation. It is amazingly difficult to find dietary selections that do not contain some form of wheat. Modern food production adds wheat or wheat-derived flavoring, coloring or other ingredients to just about everything. If a processed food product doesn't specifically say it is wheat or gluten free, there's a good chance there's some of either or both in it somewhere.
OTOH, a "wheat/gluten free" label stuck on an apple or a banana would be silly...at least until they start gene-splicing food crops...

the use of wheat in places you'd never expect (or
want) to see it. A case in point would be that
"gluten-free ham". Maybe some ham producers are
using some fraction of wheat as a filler/plumper.
