From the Gluten Free Watchdog website:

In early January of 2022, Gluten Free Watchdog issued a statement warning the community about supply chain issues with oats. At Gluten Free Watchdog we have seen an increase in oats testing with quantifiable gluten either at/above 20 ppm OR above the level of gluten allowed by their certifying organization. At this time (April, 2023), Gluten Free Watchdog cannot recommend any brand of gluten-free oats. This includes products that are certified gluten-free or made using purity protocol oats. We will issue an update when the situation warrants.

The Harvard Medical School Celiac Research Program and the National Celiac Association is presenting the second webinar in their Spring 2023 “Ask the Experts” series on Wednesday, April 26, 2023, from 1- 2:15 pm ET.
