The implementation of this voluntary program and the display of the GFCP trademark on Olymel L.P. products ensures consumers that they are purchasing a trusted, easily identifiable and safe gluten-free product

Post this

The Gluten-Free Certification Program (GFCP) and the Canadian Celiac Association are pleased to announce that Olymel L.P. has become one of the growing number of GFCP certified companies that have recently introduced a line of gluten-free products in Canada. Eight of Olymel L.P.’s facilities across the country are now certified in the GFCP program and are manufacturing over 50 gluten-free products under the Olymel, Lafleur and Flamingo brands. The Olymel L.P. brands are widely recognized and enjoyed by consumers for their delicious pork and poultry products which are packed with flavour, yet quick and easy to prepare. Look for Olymel products across Canada and for Flamingo and Lafleur products exclusively in Quebec.

The Gluten-Free Certification Program is a voluntary program designed for manufacturers and brand owners committed to producing safe, reliable gluten-free products. The program combines stringent, risk-based gluten-free requirements with globally recognized food safety management systems which exceed government requirements in both Canada and the United States. The program is verified by an annual robust, third-party facility audit process which ensures continued compliance. Paul Valder is President of the Allergen Control Group Inc. (ACG), the corporation that manages the GFCP, and states that “the Gluten-Free Certification Program came into existence to bridge the gap between limited legislation and enforcement, manufacturer self-declarations and consumer safety needs. The implementation of this voluntary program and the display of the GFCP trademark on Olymel L.P. products ensures consumers that they are purchasing a trusted, easily identifiable and safe gluten-free product”.

“Consumers have a growing need for gluten-free products and as a leader in the processed meat category, Olymel L.P. wants to contribute to that segment’s growth” says David Poirier, Marketing Director at Olymel L.P. “Meal preparation has become a real challenge for lots of consumers and even more for the people who suffer from celiac disease. These people are left with a very limited choice of manufactured and ready to serve products. This is why we are very proud to offer them a wide selection of delicious and convenient new products that they will feel confident to buy since they carry the GFCP trademark.” Look for these products and more at your local retailer!
