Are you a part of a gluten-free business?  Are you a part of a business
which could help grow the gluten-free industry?  Are you a consumer
navigating grocery shelves trying to figure out what is gluten-free?



Gluten-free companies need a venue to be able to network, a branded
identity, and voice in commerce similar to other food associations. The
Florida Orange Growers are a known entity. The Dairy Council is a force to
be reckoned with.  The GREAT Association is that gluten-free voice already
interfacing with the food industry and networking resources.



A key function of The GREAT Association is to register gluten-free products.
Compliant with World Health Organization standards, the GREAT Registration
and its gluten-free symbol communicates and educates the consumer about the
tested amount of gluten in a product.  The GREAT gluten-free symbol
incorporates the universal gluten-free symbol so that children, non-literate
individuals, and non-English speakers can also quickly and safely identify
gluten-free foods without a dependence on the alphabet or words.



The GREAT Association proudly announces its first registered products by
Pastor Chuck Orchards: Organic Applesauce No-Sugar, Organic Apple Salsa,
Organic Apple Butter, and Organic Applesauce.



Owner Waite Maclin said:

“I did a lot of research as to the best vehicle for our certification. The
National Foundation for Celiac Awareness came across as one which saw
education and revamping how we view this terrible disease as primary. I was
impressed with the rigorous process we had to go through in order to obtain
registration. It was a clear indication of the integrity of the
organization.” http://www.pastorchuckorchards.com/index.htm



The GREAT Association standardizes, brands, and equips the entire spectrum
of the food industry including: manufacturers, vendors, retailers, and both
individual and multi‐unit food service establishments. Just like American
Express, membership has its privileges. GREAT Foodservice educational
programming, networking, consulting, and other opportunities will be limited
to members. Our current membership includes products and services for both
the gluten-free community and for gluten-free businesses, such as:
