FINALLY! Celiacs rejoice!
Great news from Celiac.com about food labeling requirements. We've only been waiting for many years for this:
What is Gluten-Free? FDA Has an Answer
For the uninitiated, the article also provides a good description of gluten. While I have been fortunate to not have been contaminated by anything that was labeled gluten-free that shouldn't have been, I know others who have. Also, I'm glad they cleared up the vagueness of labels like "no gluten" and "free of gluten" that are not certified. The only bummer is that it will still take another year before we can be sure that the labeling requirements will be enforced.
