I sincerely hope your government will continue Sen. Kennedy's efforts and withstand the lobby groups so that your regulations/laws are more stringent!<br/><br/>

They have been doing a lot of studies to try to get this correct.  The results of which are very interesting.  The point most interesting to me as an extremely sensitive celiac is that how can they certify for less than 5ppm without the testing device that can register 0ppm.  Good point!  So even if dedicated gluten-free, there is no guarantee that the flours came from dedicated facilities and there is no test to guarantee that... hmmmm...  I have given up on refined flours for this very reason.<br/><br/>

I just want to know as much as possible regarding the manufacturing process, then I can make an informed choice. My family is confused when I tell them a product labelled 'GLUTEN FREE' may actually contain more gluten than one that is not labelled, but has source ingredients and manufacturing processes that create an intrinsically gluten-free product.<br/><br/>
