Oats are naturally gluten free, but have been known to get a little too cozy with other gluten-containing grains like wheat or barley, in the field, during storage and even transportation. That?s why people with celiac disease and gluten allergies sometimes avoid oatmeal. With 139 years of oat-milling experience under our belts, our experts developed a breakthrough cleaning system to remove these other grains so that we can deliver gluten free oatmeal with the quality consumers expect from Quaker.
