Frequently Asked Questions - Gluten Free Certification Consultant in Montreal

What are the rules for gluten-free labelling in Canada?
Under Canada's Enhanced Labelling requirements (Health Canada), a food labelled gluten-free must not contain wheat, rye, barley, oats, triticale, or their hybridized strains, and must contain less than 20 ppm of gluten. Compliance requires ingredient verification, gluten testing, and robust cross-contact prevention controls.
What is the Canadian Celiac Association (CCA) Gluten-Free Certification Program?
The CCA Gluten-Free Certification Program is a voluntary third-party certification for manufacturers. Products certified under this program are tested to contain less than 10 ppm gluten (more stringent than the regulatory 20 ppm) and carry the CCA Certified Gluten-Free mark, providing consumer confidence and retail access.
What facility controls are required for gluten-free production?
Controls include: dedicated equipment or validated cleaning procedures to prevent cross-contact, ingredient verification (supplier certificates of analysis, testing), segregated storage, employee training on gluten-contact prevention, environmental monitoring (surface swabs and air testing where applicable), and finished product gluten testing.
Can a facility producing both gluten-containing and gluten-free products get certified?
Yes, but it requires more robust controls: time separation, validated allergen cleaning, and thorough testing program. Many facilities successfully operate dual production environments. We assess your facility layout and product schedule to design a feasible gluten-free control program.
