Are oats gluten-free?

Oatmeal is gluten free. The issue is cross contamination. Most commercial oats are processed in facilities that also process wheat, this ingredients can contaminate oats. For those with Celiac, Wheat allergies or intolerances even a trace amount of gluten can cause severe discomfort. The best solution is to buy oats that are certified gluten-free by the Gluten-Free Certification Organization, a branch of the Gluten Intolerance Group.
