      I have written to them about sharing details of the lab that does testing for them. That way I can at least know the contamination threshold the lab tests for. For I had written to GFCO in regards to another brand that GFCO told me they do not have the info on the testing threshold for contamination on individual brands. They let the companies set that for themselves. Anyway, I am going to try La Tourangelle and see if that works.

      Sorry, I should have attached this one. Their email to my follow up.

      From their email: “rely on analyses that confirm gluten is not detected” This means that they do testing.

      Jsingh and RMJ, I am having very similar thoughts as yours regarding the safety of the GFCO and other certifications. What I have started to do is contact the companies of those GFCO products that I use and asking if their product is produced on lines that also process gluten containing products. Sadly, many GFCO certified companies ARE using the same lines as gluten containing products. I get a canned response of "we take safety seriously and ensure that all lines are properly cleaned", but as we've seen from the Moms Across America testing, that is not the case. As of right now, I am only using GFCO certified products that are made in dedicated gluten free facilities (which isn't very many). I know we get the response of, it's too expensive to have dedicated lines or facilities, but sadly at this point the certifications mean nothing. Until GFCO stops the marketing ploy money grab and truly makes some testing and auditing changes, I don't trust them one bit.

      Maybe I should write to GFCO as well with BONO's response, if what you say is the case. I wonder if GFCO has different requirements for imported products. Here is the email:
