Gluten free oats (GFO) sown by Glanbia Ireland’s grain farmers doubled in 2020 compared to 2019, and the company is now seeking additional growers for its team. 

The company operates a ‘closed-loop’ supply chain in the production of GFO and is the only certified supplier of gluten-free oats in Ireland, with 75 dedicated growers alongside a unique supply chain.
