What Is The Circle With "gluten-free" Inside On Food Products?

I know this has a name and has been covered somewhere on here, but I cannot remember where to save my life.  Also, is this "Certified" Gluten-free compliant with the government standard of 20 ppm, or is it 100% gluten free?  I've never had a problem with anything I've eaten with this symbol on it, but I was working tonight (I work at a national superstore that makes many people cringe  ;) ) and all sorts of yogurt in the dairy that I was stocking had this on it.  It just piqued my curiosity and I figured that this would be the place to come!

 

Thanks in advance!

First, there is no way to test for 0 ppm of gluten. If a food tests at <20 ppm, that does not mean it has 19 ppm. It may have 10 or 1 or 0, those are all less than 0.

If you're talking about the encircled gluten-free symbol like the one shown on the first link below, it's the Gluten Intolerance Group's certification logo:

Their FAQ page gives info about their testing standards (products must test below 10ppm):

So far I have not a reaction to any product with that label on it, so to this point I think it is a pretty good standard to go by.

      Gluten challenge and Hashimoto's Thyroiditis

      By Zuma888 · Posted

      I didn't ask a doctor about this actually. I did ask several doctors a long time ago and they told me gluten has nothing to do with hashimoto's. One of them told me to do a gluten challenge to test for celiac, but at the time I was in graduate school so couldn't afford to be even more ill than I was. If you have the symptoms, I really don't advise you to do a gluten challenge. It messed me up mentally and physically for months. At the same time, I benefitted from doing the challenge in the sense that it convinced me that all my symptoms were truly from gluten - even stuff like insomnia! So now I am terrified to eat gluten, whereas before I would have a little once in a while and not notice anything dramatic.

      I am in a similar situation where I can't feasibly do a gluten challenge but have all the symptoms and I have 2 celiac genes. I'm curious if your doctor advised you to eat as if you had a diagnosis or if they were more dismissive about it.

      Negative, although I had most of the symptoms of celiac disease. I now eat as if I had a diagnosis.

      While it's always important to approach internal use of essential oils with caution and ideally under the guidance of a qualified professional, your experience highlights the potential of complementary approaches when traditional medicine falls short. Many in the community are also interested in the intersection of natural wellness and gluten-free living, particularly for managing systemic inflammation and its various symptoms, so sharing your story is valuable. Your observation that it may also be helping with bloating is fascinating, as that could point to an overall reduction in inflammation. Thank you for sharing what is working for you!
