Glanbia Nutritionals, Fitchburg, WI, has launched a new animation to explain the guaranteed gluten-free promise behind OatPure oats. Describing OatPure’s producing and processing standards, Glanbia Nutritionals’ animation illustrates the NSF certified process that guarantees safe, gluten-free oats that exceed FDA standards.
 
Responding to the industry-wide demand for complete transparency on the origin of food ingredients, the OatPure animation describes the 14 steps, closed loop supply chain process that produces the only gluten-free oats on the market guaranteed at less than 10ppm gluten. The animation is available for viewing on the GlanbiaNextGenerationGrains.com website.
 
Glanbia’s fully owned OatSecure supply chain process guarantees a high level of protection from seed to end product, providing manufacturers with peace of mind and absolute assurance of the gluten-free integrity of the ingredient. Glanbia’s agronomists work closely with a hand-picked team of growers in Ireland to select, test, monitor and harvest the seed, which is examined at all growth stages. The land is GPS monitored for full traceability while the seed is handled with dedicated gluten-free, oat only equipment.
 
The oats are dried within three days of harvest and heat treated using an independently validated 4.6 log kill step, which eliminates pathogens and mycotoxin growth. These processes also help extend the shelf life of the oats to 18 months.
 
As part of a wider series of animations developed to explain the nutritional and functional benefits of its ingredient portfolio, Glanbia has developed a short clip about TruCal, a proprietary milk mineral complex with a perfectly balanced profile for bone health. The recently released animation describes why TruCal’s mineral profile, matching the natural bone composition, represents an ideal choice for bone health applications.
 
Both animations are available on Glanbia Nutritionals’ video center.
