The following principles apply to maintaining the safety of gluten-free food production and service through this program:

  • Principle 1: Prevention of food safety hazards is favored over reliance on corrective actions after problem has occurred.
  • Principle 2: Prevention of food contamination in the production of gluten-free foods must encompass all aspects of procurement, processing and delivery of gluten-free foods.
  • Principle 3: Worker hygiene, and production and storage area sanitation practices play a critical role in minimizing the potential for contamination of gluten-free foods.
