BRCGS Gluten-Free Certification

The market for gluten-free products is growing exponentially year over year.

As more consumers adopt a gluten-free diet, food manufacturers need to ensure that their gluten-free claims are accurate.

The BRCGS Gluten Free Certification Programme (GFCP) is unique from all other Gluten Free certifications, as it certifies your business, facility and its gluten-free manufacturing controls and is recognised by major celiac associations globally.

Certified sites can offer their customers trademarks to put on their product’s packaging as proof of certification and verification of being safe for those with a gluten intolerance or allergies. The programme can be attached to any GFSI-benchmarked food safety standard and the audits may be conducted as standalone or in combination with a GFSI certification audit.

Common gluten-free products include processed foods, ingredients for use by food service companies, catering companies, and food manufacturers, pet foods, natural health products, and medicines.

Gluten-free certification helps food producers and members of the food supply chain assure that their gluten-free products remain safe and reliable utilising a risk-based management systems approach.
