We offer conventional/organic oats and certified Gluten Free and certified Organic Gluten Free oats. Oats are naturally gluten-free, but it is a matter of where the oats are grown, milled, and packaged that determines if they are conventional or certified gluten-free. This is the main difference between conventional/organic and gluten-free oats, as otherwise, the milling and packaging process is the same.
Our conventional/organic Oat products are made with oats grown in fields where wheat is also grown. The conventional oats are milled and packaged in a facility, and on shared equipment, with wheat and other gluten-containing products. Therefore, the conventional oats are not tested for gluten levels as there could be a chance of cross contact with wheat and other gluten-containing products.
Some of our customers with gluten or wheat allergies can use our conventional/organic oat products, as they are naturally gluten-free but not tested or certified. For our customers who do need certified Gluten Free Oat products, we make those available as well.
Our certified Organic Gluten Free and certified Gluten Free Oat products are sourced from oat suppliers who are committed to practices for eliminating the presence of gluten. Our suppliers are innovative in controlling the presence of gluten through a variety of methods, including crop rotation management plans and the use of optical sorting technology.
We thoroughly batch test every gluten-free product in our quality control laboratory upon delivery, during production, and after packaging. We adhere to a standard of less than 20 parts per million of gluten. Products marked with a red GF logo are processed and packaged in our dedicated gluten free facility and batch tested in our quality control laboratory using an ELISA Gluten Assay test.
