How It Began
Our story, struggle, and success with dietary restrictions.
1991
Discovering Celiac
Our son, Forrest, was diagnosed with Celiac when he was 2 years old. The challenge at this stage was to understand the cause and effect of celiac disease & help our son learn to navigate a gluten-free lifestyle.
2007
Shift From Consumer to Producer
During this period, we launched North America's safest, most trusted, and first purity protocol oatmeal, under the name GF Harvest. We sold the company in 2020 to travel and have more family time.
2013
Ethics with Technology & Innovation
The call to serve the gluten-free community returned and we yearned to empower others to "Love Eating Out" again. Thus, LEO was born, upholding our same high ethical standards, as shown by the BBB awarding us with the Torch Award for Ethics while Seaton & Jill owned GF Harvest.

LEO is designed for speed and convenience. It takes 2 minutes to see a clear result indicating whether gluten is present above 5 PPM.
Don't worry, we've got you covered! Our website has clear instructions and video tutorials to guide you through the testing process. If you have any questions, our friendly customer support team is always happy to help!
Based on internal lab testing, LEO may provide inaccurate results when testing the following items:
- Alcohol
- Pure Xanthan Or Guar Gum
- Fermented Items Like Beer
- Hydrolyzed Foods such as soy sauce and malt extract / flavoring
Cross-contamination can be tricky. To increase your chances of detecting potential issues, LEO recommends swabbing your food in 3-5 different places. This method improves the likelihood of capturing gluten present from shared utensils or cooking surfaces.
LEO is a powerful tool, but like any tool, it has limitations. The sample size can't guarantee catching every single trace of gluten. However, LEO excels at detecting gluten in common scenarios like hidden ingredients, incorrectly labeled foods, or accidental cross-contamination. Think of it as a safety net that catches the big things, but it's still important to use common sense and be aware of potential risks.
