Coeliac UK, the Coeliac Society of Ireland and the Spanish Federation of Coeliac Associations have licensed OatPure oats to carry the Crossed Grain Symbol.
Gluten-free integrity
According to Glanbia, which was crowned Ambient Manufacturer of the Year at the Food Manufacture Excellence Awards, the oats offer gluten-free integrity at a maximum of 10 parts per million (ppm), less than half the required level of 20ppm for gluten-free labelling, stipulated by European law.
Yves Vantomme, business development manager at Glanbia Nutritionals, said: “We're delighted to receive official recognition directly from the coeliac societies, the world's toughest critics.
“Manufacturers are looking for a great tasting oat that guarantees gluten-free integrity. We believe we're the only supplier who can give that guarantee.”
