Gluten-Free Food

If you're looking for gluten-free food, you've come to the right place! Since we have hundreds of gluten-free products, we maintain a separate gluten-free production line in our warehouse to ensure the purity of our products. You will find two categories of Gluten-Free products on our site — gluten-free and certified gluten-free.

Some of our gluten-free products are certified by the Gluten-Free Food Program (GFFP), as indicated by the use of GFFP’s certification mark next to those products on our website. Endorsed by the National Celiac Association, GFFP is the most comprehensive and practical gluten-free certification program widely recognized by retailers and food safety leaders. The certification guarantees that our products contain less than 5 parts per million (ppm) of gluten.

While some of our gluten-free products aren't GFFP-certified, they still adhere to federal guidelines set by the Food & Drug Administration (FDA). They are handled on a dedicated gluten-free production line in a separate area of our warehouse.

The federal guidelines for gluten-free labeling are as follows.

1. The rule specifies, among other criteria, that any foods that carry the label “gluten-free,” “no gluten,” “free of gluten,” or “without gluten” must contain less than 20 parts per million (ppm) of gluten.
2. Besides the limit of gluten to 20 ppm, the rule permits labeling a food “gluten-free, if the food does not contain: An ingredient that is any type of wheat, rye, barley, or crossbreeds of these grains; an ingredient derived from these grains that has not been processed to remove gluten; or, an ingredient derived from these grains that has been processed to remove gluten but results in the food containing more than 20 ppm of gluten.

Frequently asked questions about gluten-free

Why did you decide to pursue Gluten-Free Certification?

Jeff was sitting across the dinner table from Jen, his wife’s best friend, and she was telling him how difficult it is to find reliable and affordable gluten-free products. He had heard of people having gluten intolerances, but little did he know about the prevalence of celiac disease. After finding out that 1% of the population is gluten intolerant (wowsers!), Jeff and the Nutty Family decided to go a step beyond the naturally gluten-free products offered by Nuts.com and pursue the Gluten-Free Food Program's (GFFP) certification.
What is gluten?

Gluten is a protein composed of gliadin and glutenin found in the endosperms of some grass-related grains, including wheat, rye, and barley. It gives dough its “doughy” properties.

The food industry refers to gluten as the storage proteins found in all grains. To the medical community, gluten-free refers to storage proteins known to damage the small intestine for persons with gluten-sensitive enteropathy (celiac disease and dermatitis herpetiformis).
What is a gluten-free diet?

A gluten-free diet excludes any foods that contain the storage proteins (gliadin and glutenin) found in wheat, rye, and barley.
Who should follow a gluten-free diet?

A gluten-free diet is recommended for people with celiac disease, gluten sensitivity and other digestive issues, like irritable bowel syndrome.
What is celiac disease?

Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder of the small intestine that causes an inflammatory reaction to partially digested gliadin. It disrupts the normal functioning of the villi lining in the small intestine, and the process interferes with the absorption of nutrients. Symptoms can include diarrhea, fatigue, weight loss, failure to gain weight in children, and anemia.
How do I know if I have celiac disease?

Blood tests are available to screen for celiac disease, but a positive small bowel biopsy is required to confirm the diagnosis of celiac disease.
Why gluten-free? What are the benefits of a gluten-free diet?

A gluten-free diet has many health benefits, especially for those with celiac disease, gluten sensitivity, and other digestive issues. This diet may reduce chronic inflammation, eliminate bloating, ease joint pain, boost energy and contribute to weight loss.
Can gluten-free mean individuals with severe wheat allergies eat the product?
Not necessarily, you should consult your physician. Even trace amounts of gluten can harm people with celiac disease, regardless of whether they display symptoms or not. Keep in mind that federal guidelines allow for trace amounts of gluten in gluten-free products.

Here are some additional resources for individuals interested in a “gluten-free” lifestyle:
How does gluten-free certification benefit consumers?

Gluten-free certification ensures that the product has been tested and the facility has been inspected. Furthermore, it minimizes the risk of contamination and improperly labeling products as gluten-free.
How is gluten-free certification done?

Certification is a yearly process based on ingredient review, on-site inspection and product testing. Some facilities require multiple unannounced inspections throughout the year.
How often is a product inspected or tested?

Several factors influence the number of times an inspector visits a plant to review processes, including the products being certified, the type of plant, etc. GF Certification is established by each ingredient in the final product and processing aids.

Products may be randomly tested in the plant or sent out for independent testing as requested by GFFP.
Are dedicated lines important?

Yes. Cross-contamination can occur if a gluten-free product is run on the same line as gluten-containing products (even if it's cleaned). Dedicated lines for gluten-free products significantly reduce the chances of cross-contamination.
Does gluten-free certification guarantee that a product is gluten-free?

The mark ensures that the product contains less than 5 parts per million (ppm) of gluten as measured by analytical associations, including the Association of Analytical Communities (AOAC), testing researchers and other such agencies. No testing method is available that measures zero.
