Dear Anja, First, I am not an NSF staff member. I am a blogger who wrote about their procedures. Secondly, there are many certified gluten free products that easily test under 20 ppm that are made in shared facilities. In fact. Gluten Free Watchdog did a study and found that 90% of products with a “gluten free label” and a “may contain” statement tested under 20 ppm. “Certified gluten free” doesn’t mean a product is made in a dedicated facility.

I just came across gluten free labeled Girl Scout cookies certified by your company and to my disappointment I had to discover that they are manufactured in a shared facility with wheat! It looks like the box in the picture above this thread but in fine print added the disclaimer!

There are many products that are certified gluten free that are made in shared facilites. The certification program requires strict cleaning processes for products. I would trust products that are certified.

What about facilities that process wheat and gluten? Do you still consider them gluten-free if a company or manufacture processes gluten products?

You’re welcome! They’re not as popular as some of the other certifying organizations, and I’m sure people often have questions about this business.

Glad I can help educate you! Hope your son feels better soon.

We DO tend to mostly buy certified gluten free products. I wasn’t familiar with this emblem or the certification process taken by NSF. We recently purchased some products by Williams Sanoma and are trying to figure out how our son (who has celiac) ingested gluten. I was pretty sure it was one of their pancake products. My husband suggested I do some research so thank you again for this thorough explanation of their certification process.
