Mayo Clinic has joined a roster of Validated Gluten Free Safe Spots, according to an article on the OA Online website.
The certification by nonprofit Gluten Intolerance Group’s Gluten-Free Food Service (GFFS) indicates an independent verification of quality of food service establishments serving gluten-free food, according to the article.
Food establishments on Mayo Clinic’s Rochester, Minn., campus are now validated by GFFS to provide safe, gluten-free foods to patients, staff and visitors.
