Frequently Asked Questions About Celiac Certification

Considering gluten-free certification? Many companies and individuals have questions about the process. Here are some of the most frequently asked questions about gluten-free certification.

What does "celiac certified" mean?

“Celiac certified” means that a product has undergone rigorous testing and auditing by a third-party organization to ensure it meets strict gluten-free standards. This certification gives consumers with celiac disease the confidence that a product is safe for them to consume. GFFP celiac certification guarantees products contain less than 5 parts per million of gluten, exceeding the requirements set by the FDA.

While many products may claim to be “gluten-free,” celiac certification provides an extra layer of assurance. GFFP certification involves thorough testing of ingredients, production processes, and the final product, along with ongoing inspections to ensure continued compliance. This rigorous process minimizes the risk of cross-contamination and gives you peace of mind.

Look for the GFFP celiac certified logo on product packaging! You can also find a list of certified products on our website, along with helpful resources and information about living gluten-free. Many retailers are also beginning to highlight celiac certified products in their stores.
