It is my understanding that the US Government has yet to determine a
standard for the term "Gluten Free."  I have been advised by
researchers & celiac resources that this is the case.  I recently
researched the US FDA regulations, but I could not find any regulation
about this topic.

If anyone has knowledge of this regulation, please pass it along.

For now, I consider any label to say "Gluten Free" to be only as good
as the manufacturer's reputation.

* Please remember some posters may be WHEAT-FREE, but not GLUTEN-FREE *
