All products displaying this logo have been reviewed and approved by Coeliac New Zealand as part of our certification programme and are suitable for a gluten free diet. We ask that you support these manufacturers by purchasing products carrying this logo whenever possible.

The Crossed Grain logo is a certified trademark owned by Coeliac New Zealand for the certification of products produced and licensed in New Zealand, and sold in New Zealand and Australia.

This means they have been tested to have gluten levels of less than 20 parts per million. Products which only qualify under the CODEX standard can NOT carry the wording ‘gluten free’ in NZ.Always check the nutritional information panel on imported gluten free products. Codex standardThe Codex standard for gluten is decided by an international body called the Codex Alimentarius Commission. It is the level that the law on gluten-free is based upon.
