3rd Party Gluten free Certification organizations

There are 3rd party organizations that test and certify that manufacturing facilities and products meet the FDA’s regulation of containing less than 20ppm (parts per million) of gluten. These organizations can be trusted. All the companies that are certified follow strict protocols and are audited annually.
