Spot the Crossed grain label!
The Crossed Grain label is the fastest and easiest way to identify gluten-free foods.
The products bearing this symbol have passed all the tests included in the certification process and are safe foods for a gluten-free diet.
Golden Foods Snacks has over 180 products bearing the Crossed Grain label. Their certification required six months of intense work and collaboration between the ARIG and Golden Foods Snacks teams.
Here is what the representatives of the Romanian Association for Gluten Intolerance declare after signing the license agreement with number RO-004 for Elmas products (Golden Food Snacks SA):
"I discovered in the factory from Filipestii de Padure dedicated people, eager to do things according to the book and to support people who need special diets. The factory works intensively, with several packaging lines simultaneously, which have all been checked and audited for gluten free products, because the factory does not work with gluten at all.
The quality label of vegan and vegetarian products
V-Label is an internationally registered and recognized symbol, dedicated to the labeling of vegan and vegetarian products and services. For consumers it is the simplest and most reliable guide in choosing products.
The legal registration of V-Label was made in 1996, being used over the years on countless products from brands belonging to small family businesses to those belonging to the largest supermarket chains in Europe.
Currently V-label is the most widely used vegetarian and vegan symbol worldwide.
Although seemingly simple, using V-Label on a product certifies compliance with a series of strict rules, conditions, norms and many other quality requirements.
