Hello Listmates,

 

Have you come back to earth after celebrating the exciting news about the
FDA gluten-free labeling rules?  I must admit, I've had a hard time thinking
about anything else since the announcement on Friday.  It's been a long time
coming.  

 

If you are like me, now you probably want to know some of the details.  I
found this helpful list of FAQs on the FDA web site.

ation/Allergens/ucm362880.htm

 

In addition, over the past 9+ years while we waited for news from the FDA, a
few folks worked tirelessly behind the scenes to move this important rule
through the system:  Andrea Levario, Executive Director of the American
Celiac Disease Alliance; Alessio Fasano, MD, Director of the Center for
Celiac Research at Mass General Hospital; Congresswoman Nita Lowey, (D- NY);
the people at Glutino, Boulder Brands and Enjoy Life Foods; and the team
behind the Giant Cake project, aka 1in133/It's a BIG DEAL (Jules Shepard,
John Forberger, Lee  Tobin, and Aaron Flores).     

 

I hope you will raise a glass to them next time you gather around the dinner
table and partake of some delicious gluten-free treats.  

 

Yours in Good Health!

 

Beth Hillson 

President, American Celiac Disease Alliance
