Compass
Thank you to everyone who has been entering their ingredients into Compass over the past months and weeks. As we announced in our last newsletter, by October 1, 2026, GFCO will require that all ingredients being used in certified products be entered into Compass and that those ingredients be connected to the appropriate Products. If you need any help accessing Compass or entering your ingredients, please reach out to gfco.clientsupport@gluten.org.
The Value of Certification
Cynthia Kelly, CEO of the Gluten Intolerance Group (the parent organization that operates the GFCO program), recently partnered in conversation with New Hope Network to discuss current gluten-free regulations and the value of gluten-free certification. You can read their conclusions and insights here, which emphasize the importance of certification for consumers in these uncertain times.
