Question 1

Are oats gluten-free?

Accepted Answer

Avenin is a protein present in oats and is a form of gluten, so oats are not technically gluten   free. Those who suffer from Celiac disease will not be able to enjoy oat-based products.   However, many people who are gluten intolerant do not have a problem with Avenin. You   will need to experiment with oat products or check with your doctor to determine whether   you can tolerate Avenin.

Question 2

How are organic oats produced?

Accepted Answer

Organic agriculture is the practice of producing food, for human and/or animal consumption by replacing most synthetic pesticides and fertilizers with products that are   permissible under the USDA guidelines for organic production and/or independent organic certification agencies. For example, glyphosate and anhydrous ammonia are replaced with  biological pest control and manure composts respectively. Smile Foods oat products use  exclusively organic oats.
