You can submit a comment to the Food & Drug Administration regarding labeling of gluten and gluten-containing ingredients, as well as regulation of cross-contact practices.
The FDA is inquiring about specific topics that impact the lives of those with celiac disease. For example, how much do YOU rely on a gluten-free label when buying foods rather than reading the ingredients list?
Do you avoid oats or other ingredients that may have cross contact with gluten-containing grains?
For foods not labeled gluten free and without gluten in the ingredients list, do you still avoid purchasing foods with any nonspecific ingredients like "flavors," "colors," or "spices"?
Share your experience and create change! Make your voice heard and advocate for increased protection for those with celiac disease, requiring that any ingredients with gluten be listed by name in the ingredient list, and by requiring controls for when cross-contact occurs between gluten-free food and gluten-containing grains.
This petition was originally submitted in September 2023 by Celiac Journey.
