GF Food Labeling, Help Make It Easier for Us to Eat!
Description
BIG NEWS! NEW BILL WOULD REQUIRE PRODUCTS TO DISCLOSE GLUTEN-CONTAINING GRAINS ON LABELS, NOT JUST WHEAT.
Currently, wheat is the only gluten-containing grain that is required to be disclosed on food and beverage labels. If this legislation passes, barley and rye ingredients would also need to be listed.
Because barley and rye ingredients may be included in ingredients such as malt, yeast, and flavorings, but not always, people with celiac disease and other gluten-related disorders may be at a loss to know if they can safely consume that item.
Please ask your representative and senator to support this important bill. You can find a sample email and link to find your local representative in this article.
