Products Containing Gluten to be Marked
The Knesset last week passed a law requiring all food products containing
gluten to be so marked.
The law is the initiative of MK Yoram Lass and is intended to help those
with Celiac's Disease, a sensitivity to gluten.
Gluten is found in all wheat and grain products. Many foods contain some
gluten in the form of flour used as a thickener.
The law will considerably help Celiac sufferers, who until now have had to
rely on reading the fine print on the ingredients.

If it can be done in a small country, why not in the U.S. and Canada? (I
know this is a rhetorical question) Food for thought --- Ethera
