Certified Gluten & Gmo Free Rolled Oats

Rolled oats are whole oat groats that have been steamed, flattened, and then dried. This processing makes them quicker to cook and easier to digest. "Certified Gluten-Free" means they have been processed to prevent cross-contamination with gluten-containing grains, and "GMO-Free" indicates they are not genetically modified.

Rolled oats are used in many foods for their texture, nutritional value, and fiber content. They are a common ingredient in breakfast cereals, granola bars, baked goods, and as a thickener in some dishes. They provide a source of complex carbohydrates and soluble fiber.

Rolled oats are generally recognized as a healthy whole grain food. The FDA considers whole grains, including oats, to be part of a healthy diet due to their fiber content. Soluble fiber found in oats, beta-glucan, has been linked to supporting heart health. As a whole food ingredient, rolled oats are not evaluated by bodies like JECFA or EFSA in the same way as food additives.
