The gluten-free consumer is an essential customer in the food service industry.

Nearly a quarter of US consumers are gluten-free, with 7% rigidly restricting gluten, often for medical reasons including celiac disease and gluten sensitivity. For these consumers, even small amounts of gluten can cause serious health problems – and with 32% of restaurant foods labeled gluten-free actually containing gluten – their fear is real*. Catering to gluten-free customers is not just about following a trend, it's about providing safe options for those who need it.

98% of people living gluten-free would feel SAFER dining at an establishment validated as a gluten-free safe spot by the Gluten Intolerance Group’s GFFS program.

GFFS validation is available for: Hospitals – Universities – Senior Living Facilities - Restaurants – Bakeries – Food Trucks
