Gluten-Free Certification for Small Business (2026)

Gluten-free certification for a small business runs from a remote desk review (V-Cert Gluten-Free, certifying Below 20 ppm gluten — the threshold applied to your products is recorded on your certificate, with your exact quote scoped to the products you list) to $3,000+ in the first year under GFCO's published audit-based fee schedule (public fee schedule PDF, 2026). The threshold your certificate states, and what your buyers mandate, matter more than the headline fee.
