Food not permitted to bear the Crossed Grain Trademark

Here is the complete list of foods that are not permitted to bear the gluten free symbol according to the AOECS Standard.

Products cannot be licensed if they are composed of a single ingredient or are unprocessed in nature. For example, fresh fruit and vegetables cannot be licensed as they are naturally gluten free; but fruit bars can be licensed as they have undergone a process which may hold a risk for cross contamination. If you are not sure about your product, please contact your National Coeliac Society.
