Perhaps I wrote too soon. I just realized that although Lucy's petiton is
very thorough in the ingredient listing aspect - it does not address the
cross contamination/manufacuturing proccesses that also add gluten (and
other offenders) to foods. These would *not* be listed as ingredients.
So, in effect, we would only be getting half a cow. (Half a soy burger for
you vegans.)
If you are so inclined as to "tyo", (type your own) you could add a blurb
that because of reactions to minute amounts of allergens injested label
should be required to list specific allergens that foods are exposed to
during manufacturing and processing. i.e.; a label for dates must declare
that they are dusted with oat flour during processing. - pick a process
that affects you. Any process as an example. The more the better! Wheat
flour on conveyor belts, etc.
That should help cover all the bases.
As I said, feel free to add your own concerns to this. It is *your*
petition. You are not signing anyone elses. It's *yours*! Say what you
need to.
