Try this.  GF labeling in the US means nothing at this time.   Until the FDA acts and issues mandated guidelines for labeling an item GF, any manufacturer can label their food GF.  Where does this statement cone from?  It comes from a phone call to a company that is issuing an existing product with a new package to state "GF"  Per the manufacturer, it is labeled GF as it has no gluten containing ingredients.  However, it is produced in a shared facility, with no special handling, and no testing.  

Who can we write to at the FDA to bring the USA up to the standards of so many other countries?
