Caracas, March 17, 2025 – P.A.N. is proud to announce that we are the first pre-cooked corn flour in Venezuela to receive gluten-free certification from the Gluten-Free Certification Organization (GFCO), the global leader in gluten-free product certification.

This achievement represents the independent verification of the quality and integrity of P.A.N. corn flour, offering the highest reliability in meeting the strictest and most trustworthy gluten-free standards.

Currently, P.A.N.’s two production plants, located in Chivacoa and Turmero, hold this certification, ensuring that throughout the flour production process, there is no contact with any gluten-containing particles.

P.A.N., Venezuela’s favorite, maintains its winning product with the same trusted formula to offer the best quality to our consumers. Now, the 1-kilogram package will feature a front label indicating it is a gluten-free product, and the official GFCO seal will appear on the side.

Consumers will soon be able to find the GFCO-labeled packaging at points of sale in Caracas and, gradually, throughout the rest of the country.

Isabel Bohórquez, Marketing Manager of Cereals at Empresas Polar, emphasized, “Receiving this certification reflects Empresas Polar’s and P.A.N. Venezuela’s ongoing commitment to all our consumers—to always deliver the best quality, now validated by an international organization.”
