Label Reading Information


The FDA issued a ruling in 2013 that defines the
term gluten free.  Product claims of gluten free
are now regulated by the FDA.  A manufacturer
may declare a product is gluten free on the label if:

1.  It does not contain an ingredient that is gluten
containing grain (wheat, rye, barley)
2.  It contains less than 20 PPM gluten
3.  It contains an ingredient made from a gluten
containing grain that has been processed to remove
the gluten and contain less than 20 PPM gluten.

Oats
Do not eat oats unless the label says gluten free.
Gluten free oats should be limited to 1 cup cooked
per day.
