From Mary Schluckebier, Executive Director, CSA/USA: When the first
article appeared, CSA responded immediately to the author with a copy to the
mother whose child had an allergic response. Early in the spring, the
mother referenced in the article and the food item in question prompted a
CSA investigation and formal complaint to the USDA. This is the same product
referenced in my column in this year's #3 Lifeline. Last month we received a
letter from USDA that the investigation is complete. The company in
question is only the second company I have worked with that did not want to
find and fix the problems leading to mislabeling. Celiacs Helping Celiacs.
Sincerely,
Janet Y. Rinehart -- [log in to unmask]
