WHY I ONLY USE PURITY PROTOCOL GLUTEN FREE OATS:
​
I choose to only use purity protocol gluten-free oats because I think they are the safest oats for a person with Celiac Disease. They are farmed on only gluten-free equipment which helps reduce the risk of cross-contamination while harvesting. 
You can see the list of purity protocol oats on the Gluten Free Watchdog site. 

I grew up in a family that mostly had farmers in it. I have been around during harvest and seen the risk of cross-contaminating oats when you also farm wheat, barley, or rye. 

This is why I mostly use Montana Gluten Free Oats. They are purity protocol and farmed close to where my hubby and I grew up! There are other companies that are also awesome at farming following the purity protocol as well.
