Gluten Free Alliance

AOECS is an umbrella non-profit organisation for European national coeliac societies, aiming to represent our over 40 member societies on an international stage. We’re involved in several international initiatives to raise awareness of coeliac disease and encourage vital research into its diagnosis and management.

The only known treatment of coeliac disease today is to maintain a strict gluten free diet. The Gluten Free Alliance is the part of the AOECS that focuses on improving access to safe gluten free food as a treatment for people who cannot eat gluten.

We are actively working for easy access to safe gluten free food for all coeliacs in Europe and beyond. For this reason, we create food safety schemes to give safe gluten free food a home on every table.
