Why Choose Glutafin Gluten Free Foods

Why Choose Glutafin Gluten Free Foods

Here at Glutafin, we’re proud to provide a wide range of gluten free foods on prescription for people who have been diagnosed with coeliac disease.  But did you know that we are part of the Dr Schär group, a worldwide manufacturer of gluten free foods?

Dr Schär is a global brand with 18 food production sites in 11 countries. Dr Schär products are available in over 100 countries worldwide, including right here in the UK, with most major supermarkets stocking Schär branded products in their specialist gluten free aisle.

Food safety from farm to fork

Dr Schär understands the importance of food safety for people with coeliac disease. That’s why we insist on full traceability at every step from the farmer’s field to your table so you can enjoy our foods with complete confidence.

Our relationships with local farmers has been built over many years, and because of this long standing relationship they understand our meticulous commitment to quality and safety.  There are three important steps in harvesting our gluten free grains:

  1. Ingredients are grown in dedicated gluten free fields, with a two-field buffer zone to ensure no cross contamination
  2. Harvests are transported under carefully controlled conditions, with harvesting vehicles required to submit documentation to show their equipment has been thoroughly cleaned
  3. Before entering the factory, the ingredients are tested again

Our dedicated quality assurance team will then test the end product to ensure there has been no contamination with gluten. Our team conducts over 100 gluten analyses every day of the portfolio of 300 products produced worldwide.

Magnifying glass grain

Using premium ingredients and traditional baking methods

Dr Schär are not only focused on safety, but also on quality, in order to create flavoursome gluten free foods.  We have a team of researchers whose role is to source sustainable, premium ingredients and alternative grains such as millet, quinoa, amaranth, sorghum and buckwheat.  We strive where possible to avoid processed ingredients, choosing natural flavourings rather than preservatives or additives.

There is a focus on fibre, which is an important nutrient for patients with coeliac disease, and many of our products use wholemeal grains and cereals.

As well as only the best ingredients, our team of bakers prefer to make bread the traditional way, using a sourdough recipe and leaving sufficient time for the dough to develop in flavour and elasticity.

The end result? Deliciously tasty gluten free foods you can trust

Trust and confidence in what you’re eating is of the utmost importance if you have a diagnosis of coeliac disease. Following a strict gluten free diet is currently the only treatment available for coeliac disease and the only way to control your symptoms and prevent long term damage that occurs if the condition is left untreated.

Here at Dr Schär, we have been making gluten free foods for over fifty years to support people in following a strict gluten free diet. So whether you are slathering a piece of toast with butter for breakfast, building your perfect club sandwich for lunch or tucking into a bowl of gluten free pasta for dinner, you can have the confidence that Glutafin’s foods will be high quality, tasty and most importantly guaranteed gluten free.
