As more people become aware of celiac disease or simple gluten sensitivity, millions of consumers are seeking ways to enjoy their favorite foods without exposure to wheat, rye, barley, or other sources of gluten. Now, products with gluten-free labeling are becoming one of the fastest-rising food categories in the world. In fact, the market for gluten-free food is currently valued at $6.5 billion and expected to grow to $15.1 billion by 2032.

In order to bear a voluntary gluten-free label, the FDA requires products to meet very specific criteria about ingredients and processing. Securing BRCGS gluten-free certification can help manufacturers ensure they meet these requirements and promote their products to the gluten-sensitive community with less risk of a recall for accidental mislabeling. Of course, it takes special care and planning to meet the certification’s rigorous requirements.
