Glanbia Nutritionals OatPure gluten free production protocols have received recognition from three of Europes most influential coeliac societies. Thanks to their gluten free purity, OatPure oats have been licensed by Coeliac UK, the Coeliac Society of Ireland and the Spanish Federation of Coeliac Associations (FACE) to carry the grossed grain symbol.

The oats offer gluten free integrity at max. 10 parts per million (ppm), less than half the required level of 20 ppm for gluten free labelling stipulated by European law.

Recognising the market potential for gluten free offerings, Glanbia has made significant investment in establishing a robust supply chain that eliminates gluten from every stage.

Yves Vantomme, business development manager at Glanbia Nutritionals, says, "Were delighted to receive official recognition directly from the coeliac societies. As the popularity of gluten free eating continues, it is essential that manufacturers maintain the gluten free quality of their products.

"Our recent participation at the Association of European Coeliac Societies (AOECS) annual conference brought us closer to understanding the needs of those living with coeliac disease, highlighting a growing concern that the mainstream uptake of gluten free may weaken standards. Manufacturers are looking for a great tasting oat that guarantees gluten free integrity – and we believe were the only supplier in todays market who can give that guarantee."
