Since Congress passed the Food Allergen Labeling and Consumer Protection Act (FALCPA) in 2004, the celiac community has waited anxiously for the FDA to complete the gluten free labeling standards. Days have turned to months and then to years.
Our patience is gone. Parents, patients, food manufacturers, and health care professionals are frustrated and concerned about companies placing 'GF' stickers on all sorts of products, including bottled water. Without GF standards, companies aren't testing or verifying ingredients, they are free to put 'Gluten-Free' on products without regard to the health and safety of the end consumer.
Lawmakers need to know FDA hasn't finished the GF rules and they need to hear it from you!
Take Action Today -- Tell Congress . . . . and tell a friend
