Aaron Anker, CEO
For our brand, giving customers confidence that we are doing what is right for the gluten free community is the most important issue. The GFFP logo, which is recognized and noticeable on our packaging and website, is a way for our brand to communicate the fact that we not only use GF ingredients, but our facility, personnel and systems are certified GF. The team at GFFP have made this process easy to deploy and I thoroughly recommend them.

GFFP are a truly great partner, and I would highly recommend them to anyone looking to get GF certified. Their customer service team respond quickly to enquiries, and their logo is well regarded in the US, Canadian and International markets. As a result its increased consumer confidence in our emerging brand. We also appreciate their competitive pricing in comparison to other players in the market.

Ashley Kohn, Founder & CEO
We initially quit a competitor’s GF program to take advantage of GFFP’s lower certification costs. Adding to that, since joining GFFP’s program, sales have increased to such a degree we’re about to take on a new QA Manager, gained shelving space in major retail chains, and we’re also building a larger facility.

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.

What are the benefits of choosing celiac certified products?

Choosing celiac certified products offers numerous benefits:

  • Safety: Reduces the risk of accidental gluten ingestion and associated health issues.
  • Confidence: Provides peace of mind when choosing foods, allowing you to enjoy meals without worry.  
  • Health: Supports digestive health and overall well-being for those with celiac disease.
  • Convenience: Simplifies grocery shopping and meal preparation by clearly identifying safe options.

The cost of obtaining gluten-free certification varies depending on the size and complexity of your company and the number of products you want to certify. The cost for Gluten-Free Food Program (GFFP) certification starts as low as $1,350. We guarantee transparent pricing – GFFP does not charge Application Fees, Scheme Operation Fees, or any hidden surcharges.

While certification and certification logos are not required for gluten-free products, they offer significant benefits. A gluten-free certification logo serves as a mark of reassurance and credibility for consumers concerned about gluten in products.

The requirements for gluten-free certification vary depending on the specific standards used by the manufacturing company or food service provider. Generally, gluten-free certification requires that the product has been produced, sourced, and labeled according to strict gluten-free quality standards that meet or exceed government gluten-free food labeling rules.
