“Gluten Free” is a regulated term in the US. One of the few that actually have to meet specific requirements. In this case its <20ppm.
A big problem is that there can be cross contamination. For instance, potato chips are naturally gluten free. But some seasonings may have gluten in them. If the manufacturer makes one with the contaminated seasoning and then immediately makes the “gluten free” chip, its very likely to not meet the 20 ppm requirement.
Doritos are an example of that. Even though the chips and the seasoning are gluten free, Frito Lay can’t guarantee that they are gluten free and thus won’t put the label on.
