Gluten Free Oats Old Fashioned Rolled Oats. Although several medical studies have indicated that pure oats are acceptable for people with celiac disease, almost all regular brands of oatmeal are likely to be contaminated with gluten as a result of standard farming, harvesting, and processing practices. Wheat and oats both grow in the same climate and the plants are almost the same height. Many farmers grow wheat and oats in the same fields in different years. Usually, some of the wheat kernels fall on the ground and sprout the next year. Cross-contamination can also occur when oats are harvested, shipped, or stored in equipment that is also used for gluten-containing grains.
Gluten Free Oats states that their products are safe for people who are gluten intolerant because they are carefully grown, harvested, and processed to avoid cross-contamination from wheat, rye or barley. The fields are used only for oats (or other gluten-free grains) and the harvesting machines are inspected by the Wyoming Seed Certification Service to assure they are free of gluten-containing grains. In addition, the products are tested by the University of Nebraska FARRP Laboratory to assure that they contain less than 0.001% gluten.
Gluten Free Oats are an excellent source of dietary fiber and can be used as a hot cereal or as an ingredient in any recipe that calls for old-fashioned oatmeal.
