Petitions and World's Largest Gluten-free Wedding Cake Move FDA Toward Gluten-free Labeling Standards
So far, eating gluten free is a tricky business. Even if a label doesn't contain a wheat warning, there still could be hidden rye, barley or contaminated oats because there are no requirements to warn against those.

It would be enormously helpful, not to mention safer, if there were set standards in force.
