Passage Foods Earns Gluten-Free Certification

Passage Foods’ line of authentic cooking sauces are now certified gluten-free by the Gluten-Free Certification Organization (GFCO). 

The Passage Foods line includes Passage to Mexico, Passage to Thailand, Passage to Morocco and Passage to Europe, as well as several other classic and ethnic product lines. Each of the 23 different simmer sauces is a blend of fresh ingredients creating a recipe deep in the traditional flavors of its country, such as Moroccan Harissa, Red Thai Curry, Spanish Chicken and Chipotle Lime. 

“It has always been in our brand’s DNA that Passage Foods products be gluten-free, and we have always used third-party testing to detect gluten to a level of 5 parts per million. The celiac community understands the importance of this testing, but there is a much larger share of the North American population that is now practicing a gluten-restricted diet as a healthy lifestyle choice,” stated Passage Foods’ Mark MacKenzie. “We knew that the Gluten Intolerance Group through their GFCO program was the foremost trusted certification program available, and we felt that partnering was an important message to both our healthy lifestyle and celiac customers.”  

According to GFCO, there are 3 million people with celiac disease in the United States, with 15 million additional people who practice gluten-restricted diets due to gluten sensitivity.

All Passage Foods cooking sauces are part of a simple timesaving three-step meal solution that satisfies the needs of the time-starved consumer who wants home-cooked meals that are nutritious, healthy and satisfy the demands for a gluten-free meal.
