Why 5ppm Matters For Gluten-Free Certification
When it comes to gluten-free certification, not all standards are created equal. While the legal limit for “gluten-free” labeling is 20ppm, GFFP goes above and beyond with our strict 5ppm testing requirement.
This means that GFFP-certified products contain up to 75% less gluten than products certified under less stringent standards. For individuals with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity, even trace amounts of gluten can trigger adverse reactions and long-term health complications. By choosing GFFP’s 5ppm certification, you provide the highest level of safety for your consumers, build trust in your brand, and demonstrate your commitment to exceeding industry standards.
