2026 Update! Gluten-Free Prairie Purity Protocol Oats. Is it important? What’s the Big Deal?

To make a Purity Protocol claim, oats must be grown in designated Gluten-Free fields, harvested by, and processed on, designated Gluten-Free equipment.

Gluten-Free Prairie sources only third-party certified Gluten-Free purity protocol oats, which is why Gluten-Free Prairie Oats can take your Gluten-Free diet to a whole new level.

The purity of our Gluten-Free oat products is our #1 priority on the Gluten-Free Prairie. We are completely committed to source ONLY pure Purity Protocol Gluten-Free oats from farmers following strict purity protocols. Gluten-Free Prairie is a (Celiac) Woman-Owned Business featuring an entire line of Purity Protocol products.

With no co-packers or middlemen, we manufacturer everything in our 100% GF facility in a small town in Montana. Gluten-Free Prairie storefront with people above.Visit our on-line store HERE. See our product list: HERE

So, what are Purity Protocols and do they really matter? For Celiacs and those with severe gluten-intolerance… YES! they really matter! While we know that oats are naturally Gluten-Free, we also know they are often cross-contaminated in the field or during harvesting or processing. Some conventional oats can test up to 100 ppm of gluten! Some large manufacturers making a Gluten-Free claim believe they have achieved the 20 ppm threshold using a size and color sorting method. Beware! Some samples of these sorted oats have tested up to 90 ppm! Also, many Celiacs  (like my daughter and me) react to oats that test at 20 ppm. Our oats consistently test out at 5 ppm.

Why did our Gluten-Free Prairie family decide to center our entire small business around Purity-Protocol Gluten-Free Oats? Because the health benefits of oats are well documented. See my “Ageless Benefits of Oats” essay HERE.

And as a Celiac myself, nutrition is very important to me. I believe that oats are among the most nutritious of all cereal grains, making them the perfect addition to any diet, especially a Gluten-Free diet. Pure Gluten-Free Prairie oats are also high in protein, fiber and B Vitamins, which are often missing in a Gluten-Free diet.

And what about Glyphosate, a pesticide also known as RoundUp? Is it used on Gluten-Free Prairie Oats? The answer is “NO!” Please learn more HERE.
