Crunchmaster produces several varieties of gluten‑free crackers. This month they are sponsoring a giveaway featuring their popular Multi‑Seed Crackers. Below I describe Crunchmaster’s facility and product certification, review the Multi‑Seed Crackers, list ingredients and allergy information for each flavor, and explain how to enter the giveaway to win 12 packages. Good luck!
Crunchmaster’s Facility and Product Certification
Crunchmaster crackers are certified gluten free by the Gluten Free Certification Organization (GFCO), part of the Gluten Intolerance Group of North America. Their crackers are produced on a dedicated, GFCO‑certified gluten‑free production line and are made using only certified gluten‑free ingredients. GFCO testing protocols are applied to every production run. In addition, Crunchmaster maintains an internal gluten testing laboratory and verifies their finished products at less than 10 parts per million (ppm) before shipment for the safety of consumers with gluten intolerance.
Review: Multi‑Seed Crackers
The Multi‑Seed Crackers combine crunchy whole grains and seeds—such as flax, amaranth and quinoa—and are oven baked for extra crispness. The texture is satisfyingly crunchy and the seed mix gives each cracker a wholesome, nutty flavor. In our taste test they were enjoyed by both the gluten‑free and non‑gluten‑free members of the household. Like many Crunchmaster products, these crackers deliver great flavor and crunch without alerting non‑gluten‑eating guests that they are gluten free.
