Gold-standard oats grown and processed
following rigorous gluten-free Purity Protocol
QUINCY,
Mass., May 20, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Bay
State Milling's SowNaked® Mindfully Farmed Oats are a unique
variety of hulless oats that deliver 40% more protein and 50% less
carbon emissions than traditional oats, and are grown following
gluten-free Purity Protocol. SowNaked Oats are grown and processed
in a highly specialized, closed loop, gluten-free supply
chain—resulting in oat flakes with less than 5 parts per million
(ppm) of gluten, dramatically below the 20 ppm threshold set by the
FDA for a gluten-free claim. During Celiac Awareness Month, Bay
State Milling is highlighting this important distinction to educate
and protect consumers, especially those living with celiac
disease.
"Bay State Milling Company's SowNaked Oats are not only grown in
a way that enables Purity Protocol gluten-free, but the unique
variety also has a great nutritional impact, with 40% more protein
than traditional oats," said Bay State Milling's Director of Oats
Sales, Mark Maloney. "While oats are
naturally gluten-free, many common varieties are cross-contaminated
with gluten. Consuming gluten, even in trace amounts, can be
detrimental to people with celiac disease and negatively affect
those with gluten sensitivity. SowNaked Oats are a staple
ingredient gluten-free consumers can trust, with the added benefit
of high protein."
Celiac disease affects 1 in 100 people in the US. Studies show
that the incidence rate of celiac disease is increasing every year
by nearly 8%, and is more prevalent than peanut allergies, type 1
diabetes and rheumatoid arthritis. The disease requires a strict
gluten-free diet to prevent damage to the small intestine,
life-threatening organ disorders and even cancer.
"Even small amounts of gluten can be harmful to those living
with celiac disease," says Christopher
Damman, M.D., board-certified Gastroenterologist &
Clinical Associate Professor of Gastroenterology at the
University of Washington. "The stricter
one adheres to a gluten-free diet, the better it is for the
long-term health outcomes."
SowNaked Oats are an excellent ingredient for a wide variety of
gluten-free foods and beverages, available in flour and flakes
directly from Bay State Milling.
