Gluten Testing

Sales for gluten free foods have grown into a $9 billion dollar market and those numbers are expected to increase by as much as 60% in the next couple of years.

According to a US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulation issued in 2013,  food manufacturers may label their products as “gluten-free”, “no gluten” and “without gluten” if their product has less than 20 parts per million (ppm) gluten.

With 20 years of experience testing for the food industry, FoodChain ID Testing has the testing expertise you can rely on to make a gluten-free claim on your product, comply with certification requirements or for internal quality assurance purposes.
