URGENT ALERT.ACT TODAY
PROPOSED FOOD ALLERGEN/GLUTEN LABELING REGULATIONS IN JEOPARDY
Celiac and allergy groups have joined together in response to the strong
opposition of the beer industry over the proposed regulatory changes by
Health Canada for the complete and accurate labelling of allergen, gluten
and sulphites on ALL food and beverages. This legislation is critical for
the health and safety of over 2.8 million Canadians with food allergies and
celiac disease. After 12 years of consultation and development of these
regulations it is time to act now and not delay the passing of this
regulation any longer. Call the Prime Minister and your MP today.
1. Please email and call Prime Minister Stephen Harper's office at
