List of foods from FACE (certified gluten-free products)

The quality department at Jamones Aljomar continues its successful work aimed at producing healthier Iberian pork products suitable for all consumers. Since the end of 2010, Aljomar has been included on the official FACE list of celiac-friendly products.

This list, compiled annually, is sent in printed form to members, the agri-food industry (those adhering to the list), and the HORECA sector (through an agreement with FACE). This publication provides gluten-intolerant individuals with a direct communication channel containing a detailed list of gluten-free products, certified by their own industry association.

The list includes various products, in different forms (whole pieces or sliced), such as chorizo, salchichón, lomo, vela, longaniza, and the famous 'Guijuelitos'. Iberian hams and shoulders in any form are not included, as these are considered to be naturally free of this substance.

Celiac disease is a condition that involves permanent intolerance to gluten.

Gluten is a protein found in grains such as wheat, oats, barley, rye, spelt, kamut, and triticale. People with gluten intolerance must follow a gluten-free diet and therefore cannot consume these grains or their derivatives. Meat products are naturally gluten-free, but when additives, spices, etc., are added, cross-contamination can lead to gluten contamination. The Aljomar products selected for this list have undergone gluten-free testing in accredited laboratories.
