GFCP BRC Global Standard

Gluten-Free Certification Program provides a framework for the management and control of gluten in gluten-free products

The Gluten-Free Certification Program is a standard BRC developed with a set of requirements founded upon proven, globally recognized and science-based food preventative safety protocols. As opposed to other gluten-free claims, the GFCP Standard does not rely solely on analytical testing results.

Service details

It provides a framework for the management and control of gluten in gluten-free products, in the manufacture, processing and packing of:

  • Processed foods, both own brand and customer branded
  • Ingredients for use by food service companies, catering companies and/or food manufacturers
  • Pet foods
  • Cosmetics
  • Natural Health Products
  • Drugs

A GFCP-certificated facility/site verifies its existing Gluten-Free management system annually, conducted by a trained and approved auditor, who is employed by an ISO accredited and GFCP licensed third-party certification body.
