    All of my products are gluten free (by virtue of their ingredient lists), and made only with certified organic ingredients. Retailers are asking me to put a GF label on my packaging–can I do this? Can I also claim certified organic via the iconic symbol or can I only say its “made with organic ingredients”? I thought I saw an exemption for small food producers…

    I’m not sure if you need some sort of certification for gluten free labeling, though I do know that there are certain quantities that you need to stay under. By making this health claim, you need to place a nutrition facts panel on your label, which is an extra expense and process.

    Labeling a product as organic can be very complicated and expensive, and I don’t know of any exemption: http://forrager.com/faq/#organic
