Is Oatmeal Gluten Free?
Oatmeal used in Oatmeal Cookies - Almost daily someone asks is oatmeal gluten free? While oats themselves are naturally gluten-free, if processed in a facility that processes other gluten containing grains, they can become contaminated. I'm not saying that they do. I'm saying the CAN.
You'll want to stick to purity protocol oats, if possible. Purity protocol oats can vary but really the goal is to eliminate contamination of oats. Purity protocol means they are grown with care not to contaminate the crops AND they are processed in a dedicated facility.
