Gluten Free Granola

Gluten-free granola is a baked cereal product made from oats or other grains that have been certified as gluten-free. It typically includes ingredients like nuts, seeds, dried fruits, and sweeteners, and is often baked with oil or butter until crisp.

Manufacturers use gluten-free granola as a crunchy topping or ingredient in various foods. It adds texture and flavor to yogurt, ice cream, baked goods, and snack mixes. It is also commonly sold as a ready-to-eat breakfast cereal or snack.

Gluten-free granola is generally considered safe for consumption. The FDA does not specifically regulate granola as a distinct food category but oversees its ingredients. While generally healthy, some commercially prepared granolas can be high in added sugars and fats, so checking nutrition labels is advised. JECFA and EFSA have evaluated many of the common ingredients found in granola, such as oats and sweeteners, setting guidelines for their use.
