Gluten-free food certification program launches in North America
The National Foundation for Celiac Awareness (NFCA) has formed an alliance with the Gluten-Free Certification Program (GFCP), developed by the Canadian Celiac Association (CCA), to launch the first gluten-free certification program endorsed by leading celiac disease organizations in North America.
“The GFCP alliance means consumers with celiac disease and gluten sensitivity will have more choices, greater assurance and an easier way to identify gluten-free products that are trusted and safe,” says Alice Bast, president of NFCA. “The GFCP has already achieved great success in Canada, and we are eager to expand its benefits to our community here in the U.S.”
