Honest Thoughts on Leo Verified Gluten Test Kits vs Nima Partners

For years I have used the Nima gluten tester and while I do love it, the capsules for it still are not available. Having such sensitive celiac disease, I have not eaten out much because cross contamination always worries me. Finding the Leo Verified test kits has given me reassurance that I will be okay. Like any testing, you can only test a small sample, so you still need to do your own homework and ask questions about preparation of your food to make sure it is safe. Then your test kit will help ensure the seasonings, sauces, and any other ingredient used in the dish are actually gluten free. I've discovered is not uncommon for seasonings to be labeled gluten free but made on shared equipment and test positive for gluten. For that reason, you can't always trust a restaurant saying something is gluten free because that onion powder might be contaminated and they don't know it. Leo tests for as low as 10ppm of gluten vs Nima test for as low as 20ppm of gluten. Leo test kits require a bit more effort than Nima (you have to Analize the result on your own, mix and drip liquid into test) while Nima you just put the food in and press a button, and it either gives a smile or says gluten found. The Leo test kits are faster than Nima taking only 3 minutes. Another benefit of Leo is you can test several items at once vs nima only fits one capsule at a time. Honestly, I like both Leo Verified and Nima Partners for different reasons and will be a customer of both. I'd recommend both products for anyone with celiac disease.
