The American Celiac Disease Alliance recently received a
copy of FDA's report to Congress regarding cross-contact
with food allergens during food manufacture and
distribution, and consumer preferences about advisory
labeling.  The report was required as part of the Food
Allergen Labeling and Consumer Protection Act (FALCPA).  

The report is now online at:   
 
http://www.cfsan.fda.gov/~acrobat/alrgrep.pdf 
 
 
The FDA has also updated its question and answers on FALCPA
for consumers.  
 
The Information for Consumers: Food Allergen Labeling And
Consumer Protection Act of 2004 Questions and Answers
can be accessed by going to:

FDA's final guidance for industry was posted in April, that
information is available at: 

http://www.cfsan.fda.gov/~dms/alrguid3.html


We greatly appreciate the efforts of the FDA / CFSAN staff
to keep us informed about its FALCPA related activities.
