Starting with a cert fee of $1,650 plus an audit fee of $700 + travel expenses you're looking at about $2,700 out the door if you are a low-risk small operation. That's your starting investment in quality assurance for the gluten-free community.
Gluten Intolerances affect people of all ages, races, and backgrounds across the globe. U.S. households choosing gluten-free/avoiding gluten:
๐26% families with children
๐28% Generation X
๐25% of male shoppers
๐27% Asian descent
The gluten-free diet was built on a medical necessity and that need remains today for a large number of people.
Regardless of why someone may choose to live a gluten-free lifestyle, it's important that the choice be rooted in the ability to control individual health outcomes.
