What tests are run on the Toro products?
The gluten-free ingredients and products are analyzed both by the suppliers and the producer. Toro has a Raw Material Specification for every ingredient they use which includes demands for official and quality requirement like: composition, sensory, physical, chemical, nutritional, and microbiological requirements and claims on many other matters like allergens, heavy metals and pesticides. The specification must be signed by the suppliers and the factories are audited. The analysis that indicates the presence of gluten is based on relevant methods (e.g. ELISA-based metods, DNA methods). The method for determination of gluten is the Enzyme-Linked immunoassay (ELISA) R5 Mendez Method (as per the Codex standard).
