Contact Us TodayVancouver's natural-foods and better-for-you manufacturing sector is one of Canada's strongest, and gluten-free certification is a core shelf requirement in the retail channels it sells through — from regional natural grocers to national chains' wellness sets. Certification projects here often involve multi-claim products (gluten-free plus organic plus vegan), which means designing one segregation-and-verification system that satisfies several certifiers at once instead of three conflicting ones.
Yes, if designed deliberately: unified ingredient approval capturing every claim's requirements, one segregation scheme with the strictest rule winning, harmonized cleaning validation, and a single traceability system all certifiers audit against. We design multi-claim systems so audits share evidence.
Health Canada's regulatory threshold is no gluten protein from listed sources with a 20 ppm compliance benchmark; GFCO certifies to stricter internal limits and adds mandatory testing and annual audits. Retail buyers generally want the certification mark, not just regulatory compliance.
Certification under recognized gluten-free programs (GFCO, BeyondCeliac/CSA in Canada), focused on cross-contact controls, ingredient verification, and validated testing.
