In order to display the GFCO Certified Gluten Free Logo (see image on the left) on your bars, YouBar must submit the appropriate documentation for your custom formulas to the Gluten Free Certification Organization, which is a third-party certifying body.
The cost to license this third-party logo is $1,500 annually per SKU (flavor), inclusive of all of YouBar’s QA document submission work.
The less expensive -- but equally valid -- option is to utilize YouBar's third party lab for testing your product to confirm gluten free status in a completely FDA compliant way. This still allows you to use the YouBar gluten free logo, and to write "Gluten Free" on your packages, and is only $900 instead of $1,500. If you'd like to do this instead please click HERE.
IMPORTANT NOTICE: This package is only available to clients who have worked with YouBar’s R&D team to create a bar utilizing exclusively Gluten Free ingredients. If your bars do not currently meet this requirement, but you would like them to, then please get in touch with YouBar’s development team (email Emily at emily@youbars.com) in order to engage recipe reformulation prior to submitting a request for GFCO. It is not possible for YouBar's clients to obtain certification from the regulatory body directly due to the extensive hands-on compliance work required by the product manufacturer to ensure actual and ongoing compliance with this certification. Please also note that this certification frequently takes 4-12 weeks from the date of submission to the date of approval.
