Certified Gluten Free Rolled Oats

Certified Gluten Free Rolled Oats are whole oat groats that have been de-hulled, steamed, and rolled flat. This process makes them cook faster and easier to digest. The 'certified gluten-free' label means they have been processed in a facility that prevents cross-contamination with wheat, barley, and rye, meeting strict standards for gluten-free products.

Oats are a popular whole grain used in breakfast cereals, granola bars, cookies, and baked goods. They add a chewy texture, a mild nutty flavor, and contribute dietary fiber to foods. Manufacturers use them as a base ingredient or to improve the nutritional profile of products.

Oats are a source of soluble fiber, particularly beta-glucan, which the FDA recognizes may help reduce the risk of heart disease. The FDA has authorized health claims related to oats and heart health. JECFA has evaluated oats and their components. Oats are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as intended. They are a nutrient-dense food, providing carbohydrates, protein, and various vitamins and minerals.
