Certification Standard for Gluten-Free Products

This standard (SCS-107) is applicable to food, ingredients, dietary supplements, over-the-counter medicines, household products, and pet products for which an organization wishes to demonstrate that their product(s) are gluten-free. It provides a framework for substantiating gluten-free claims through ingredient review, contamination risk assessment, and ongoing sampling and testing. Certification against SCS-107 requires products to contain less than 10 parts per million (ppm) of gluten, or the applicable country-specific threshold where lower, and requires manufacturers to identify and control potential sources of gluten contamination during production. By providing independent evaluation of gluten-free claims, this standard helps consumers make safe and informed purchasing decisions.
