Challenge FDA to set gluten free to be 0 parts per million
Petition published by Michael Langton on May 01, 2012
Target: Food and Drug Administration
Region: United States of America
Web site: www.celiac.org
Petition Background (Preamble):
In 2009, the FDA set the allowable gluten-free label to be applied to food and beverages at 20 parts per million or less. That's fine for people with gluten sensitivity, but not for people with Celiac Disease (complete gluten intolerance).
Gluten is a protein found in rye, wheat, barley, and other grains, malts, vinegars, beverages, etc..
Please help establish a 0 parts per million criteria for any product to be labeled gluten free. Digestive systems and lives are at stake.
Thank you!
