<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> Here is what I received from Celiac Canada: In response to the email I sent to Health Canada regarding nutrition labeling, I received this message: ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Thank you for your inquiry. Although the review on nutrition labelling focussed on labelling the nutrient content of foods, a separate initiative on the labelling of allergenic foods and their derivatives is currently underway within the Food Directorate of Health Canada. Under this regulatory initiative, it is proposed that specific foods and their derivatives would always be identified in the list of ingredients of prepackaged foods, when they are present as ingredients or components. These include grains containing gluten, namely: wheat, spelt, kamut, oats, barley, rye and triticale, as well as peanuts, tree nuts, sesame, milk, eggs, fish, crustaceans, shellfish, and soy. This priority list of food constituents known to cause serious adverse reactions in Canadians was developed in consultation with the medical community including the Canadian Society of Allergy and Clinical Immunology, the Allergy/Asthma Information Association and the Canadian Celiac Association. It is expected that proposals will be published in Canada Gazette Part I in the coming months, at which time stakeholders will have further opportunity to comment. Thank you for your interest in this important initiative. Nutrition Evaluation Division ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- I would suggest you, who are in Canada to send a e-mail urging them to enforce this project.
