AOECS Territory
AOECS Territory is defined as the European Area where the Crossed Grain Trademark is administered under the European Licensing System. Within this area, AOECS member National Coeliac Societies are handling the licensing of the gluten free symbol, the Crossed Grain Trademark.
If you are interested in labelling your products with the Crossed Grain Trademark to verify your products are gluten free you can read more about that here.
The Crossed Grain Trademark is, however, a protected global trademark. If you are looking for using the Crossed Grain Trademark in other areas of the world, please contact [email protected]
