Quaker
Old Fashioned Rolled Oats
Quaker Old Fashioned Rolled Oats isn't made with gluten, but its oats aren't certified gluten-free — a real cross-contact risk.
Verdict
Cross-contamination risk
No gluten grain is in the ingredients, but a risk vector (like non-certified oats or shared equipment) means we can't call it gluten-free.
Why
Oats don't contain gluten themselves, but standard oats are grown and milled alongside wheat, so they carry a genuine cross-contact risk for celiacs. We hold this at cross-contamination risk unless the product uses certified gluten-free or purity-protocol oats. If you're sensitive, choose an oat product explicitly labeled gluten-free.

What this means
No gluten grain is in the ingredients, but a real cross-contact risk (like non-certified oats or shared equipment) means we can't call it gluten-free.
What it doesn't: This is our reading of the label on file. Formulations change — always check the current label, and if you're highly sensitive, choose a certified gluten-free product.
We screen the ingredient list against our published ruleset; we are not a certifying body and this is not medical advice.
