GK Gluten Free Foods: Pioneering Pure Oats in Australia

by WellBeing Team May 1, 2025

What inspired you to start GK Gluten Free Foods?

At GK Gluten Free Foods, we are committed to providing nutritious, high-quality products that people with special dietary needs can trust. We believe everyone deserves to “Live the Life They Deserve” with delicious and nutritious pantry staples. In fact, our oats are proudly 100% Australian Owned and Grown—“The Oats You Can Trust!”

Since its inception, in 2009, Kylie Martin and her partner Garry founded GK Gluten Free Foods, introducing the first oats in Australia that were completely uncontaminated by gluten from wheat, rye, and barley. Kylie’s passion for this product stemmed from her own experience catering to a family with special dietary needs and her deep connection to farming.

After more than a decade, our dream of working with Australian farmers came true in 2021. We partnered with Avena Mills to produce our signature Gloriously Free steamed rolled oats—Australia’s only oats tested and certified to meet strict nil gluten standards from wheat, rye, or barley.

What makes GF Oats different from other oat brands?

Gloriously Free Oats follow the Global Oats Purity Protocol, ensuring they are truly pure. While other countries may label similar products as “gluten-free oats,” Australian labeling laws prevent us from doing so. However, our oats are independently tested in Australian laboratories to confirm they are uncontaminated.

At GK Gluten Free Foods, we remain committed to offering products that meet specific dietary needs, helping people live healthier, happier lives.

What’s the best product for someone new to GF Oats?

I’d recommend starting with our Oaty Starter Pack. It’s a great way to sample different oat varieties and find the one that best suits your taste and lifestyle. Swap out packet cereals for a wholesome bowl of porridge, overnight oats, or a smoothie—you’ll feel the benefits right away!

Where can people buy GF Oats products?

Our products are available in health food stores, whole food retailers, independent grocery stores, and select IGAs across Australia.

What’s next for GF Oats?

GF Oats is expanding! Our product range now includes traditional steamed rolled oats, mueslis, and even ANZAC biscuits. These products cater to both the gluten-sensitive community and health-conscious consumers across Australia and New Zealand.

As we grow, we remain dedicated to supporting Australian farmers and providing safe, nutritious oats that meet the highest standards. Our paddock-to-plate journey reflects our commitment to trust, innovation, and inclusivity. We’re not just offering a product—we’re delivering a promise of health, quality, and integrity.
