GFFP's Celiac Association Partners

Credibility, trust, and community confidence.

GFFP certification is endorsed by trusted celiac organizations in the United States and Canada. Certified businesses benefit from that association — helping them communicate their gluten-free commitment with credibility to consumers, retailers, and industry partners.

The Value of GFFP’s Celiac Association Partners

All GFFP certified businesses benefit from the endorsement of the National Celiac Association (NCA), one of the United States’ leading celiac organizations.

Restaurants, foodservice establishments, and hospitality venues certified under the GF Approved and GF Destinations programs also benefit from the endorsement of Cœliaque Québec, Quebec’s reference organization on celiac disease.

About the National Celiac Association (NCA)

The National Celiac Association is a 501(c) 3 non-profit organization dedicated to educating and advocating for individuals with celiac disease and non-celiac gluten sensitivities, their families, and communities throughout the nation.

NCA offers support through more than 70 support groups and over 50 chapters offering monthly e-newsletters, an informational website, and the Gluten-Free Nation magazine.

NCA actively supports and nurtures all those who are part of the celiac community.  Until there’s a cure… there’s NCA.

NCA Practices:

  • We educate, advocate and raise awareness of celiac disease and gluten intolerance through a broad range of programs.
  • We keep a close affiliation with a core of expert gastroenterologists and nutritionists.
  • Maintain mutually beneficial contacts within the medical community to help educate medical professionals about celiac disease and to keep abreast of recent scientific studies for the benefit of its members.
  • Circulate current information about celiac disease and adherence to a gluten-free diet to the community.
  • Engage in other activities related to educating the public about celiac disease and non-celiac gluten sensitivities and improving the quality of life of those diagnosed with celiac disease.
  • We provide empowerment to live with a chronic disease and share a positive outlook as ambassadors of the disease.
