Gluten Testing Services for Food Manufacturers & Retailers

With the rise in gluten-related disorders and dietary awareness, food brands are expected to take extra care in labeling and product integrity. Gluten, a protein family found in wheat, barley, and rye, can trigger severe reactions in people with gluten intolerance, sensitivity, or celiac disease.

Equinox Labs offers reliable gluten testing using advanced analytical methods to help manufacturers comply with allergen labeling standards, avoid cross-contamination, and protect consumer health. Whether you produce baked goods, snacks, sauces, or packaged meals, accurate testing helps you deliver confidence with every product.
