How Much Does Gluten-Free Certification Cost?

Gluten-free certification is priced per scope. GFCO publishes an itemized component fee schedule as a PDF (gfco.org, 2026); the first-year total is scoped by facility and product risk, with independent estimates in the range of about $500–$5,000. Other schemes quote only after you apply. Cost is driven by per-SKU counts, ingredient testing and whether an on-site audit is required. V-Cert Gluten-Free certifies Below 20 ppm gluten, and your exact quote is scoped to the products you list.
