Hi everyone
 
I apologize in advance if this message comes through 
too garbled to decipher.

Food Allergen Labeling and Consumer Protection Act.
 
Number 27 deals with the definition of wheat 
for the purposes of FALCPA and reads
 
The term "wheat" in section 201(qq) means any species 
in the genus Triticum. Thus for the purposes of 
section 201(qq) wheat would include grains such 
as common wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) 
durum wheat (Triticum durum Desf.) 
club wheat (Triticum compactum Host.) 
spelt (Triticum spelta L.) 
semolina (Triticum durum Desf.) 
Einkorn (Triticum monococcum L. subsp. monococcum ) 
emmer (Triticum turgidum L. subsp. dicoccon (Schrank) Thell.) 
kamut (Triticum polonicum L.) 
and triticale ( x Triticosecale ssp. Wittm.).
