➡️ Supplier review and approval
➡️ Visual examination
➡️ Product testing
➡️ Proficiency testing
➡️ In-depth annual audits

GFCO and clients work together to make sure their products meet our standards. If you're interested in learning more about oats and our safety standards, click the link below:

The rise in gluten-related health issues such as Celiac disease, non-celiac gluten sensitivity, and an increased focus on health and wellness has contributed to the growth of the mark.

The gluten-free diet is medically prescribed. Strict adherence, for many, is the only treatment.

Proficiency Testing, or PT, is a requirement that provides GFCO and brand owners with verification that manufacturing facilities are testing and reporting correctly.

This extra step is a safeguard! An independent measure of the manufacturing facility’s ability to perform and report their gluten test results correctly, PT is necessary for providing confidence in all the testing data generated by the facility.

GFCO administers proficiency testing rounds frequently and also accepts documentation of successful participation in other 3rd party proficiency testing schemes.

We all know that sauce is often a hidden source of gluten and a major point of anxiety for anyone living gluten-free, so we're not surprised with this SPINS reporting on the category overall from our recent New Hope Network webinar. To all those brands out there who are making hot sauce and mayonnaise—this is your MOMENT. 😄

Any Ingredient with a risk level of 3 or 4 will need to test each lot prior to use or may submit an approved document to determine if the risk level can be reduced. Examples of approved documents:

👉A statement that the ingredient is not harvested, transported, stored or processed with gluten-containing grains, through a facility audit or suitable documentation which must also be available for review by GFCO auditors.

👉A copy of the GFCO certificate for the ingredient, also kept on file for review by GFCO auditors.

👉Evidence that you receive lot-specific gluten test results (certificates of analysis) from the supplier with each lot of the ingredient received. Also, keep these on file for review by GFCO auditors

Where ya at, friends? Are you seeing this?!

This growth can be attributed to GFCO standards which are strict and transparent, which 72% of consumers say it's extremely important when deciding which food brands and retailers to support. SPINS

It's possible to find errors in any of these process flows, that's why they exist—to catch and stop them and it works. ⌛ 🧪

80 steps in the GFCO program ensure the lowest risk of gluten exposure for the gluten-free community. 📝 💯 🥽

Should an error be found in those 80 steps, we work collaboratively to correct the course and make the necessary changes to keep certified food safe. Unless the product makes it to market, we don't alert the public as our goal is to fix the problem and not cause undue fear. 🔧 🧰

Note to consumers: If you suspect you have a GFCO-certified product that's made you sick, you must report it so that an investigation can address it as soon as possible.

You can do this by reaching out at: https://gfco.org/contact/

Do you manufacture gluten-free food, beverages, nutritional products, supplements, or personal care items? Apply to have them certified here: https://gfco.org/certification/

Our GFCO process has become the “gold standard’ of gluten-free certification.⭐ Here's what is involved:

Each ingredient is assigned a risk factor, which determines how it needs to be tested before being used in GFCO-certified products.

Ingredients that are low risk do not require testing such as fats and oils that do not have any protein. All high-risk ingredients must be tested in the prescribed amount per lot, prior to their use in finished products.

There's so many delicious ways to use these products! 🤩

It’s sought after globally, known by kids and adults alike, and has prevented innumerable safety risks. GFCO began its work in 2005 and 19 years later, we're more proud than ever to certify 65,000+ gluten-free products.👏
