Thomas 🔭🕹️ (thomasfuchs@hachyderm.io)'s status on Sunday, 12-Feb-2023 03:52:39 JST Thomas 🔭🕹️ @neven yes, they are, and yes, it's confusing.
In this case:
The "Certified Gluten-Free" badge is from a non-profit that has been doing this for 50 years.
The "Informed Gluten-Free" badge is from a for-profit industry organization which was started about 25 years ago.
I know what I'd rather trust.
