F.D.A. proposes standards for 'gluten-free' foods

(FoodBusinessNews.net, January 23, 2007)

by Eric Schroeder

WASHINGTON - The Food and Drug Administration on Tuesday set forth a proposed

rule that would allow companies to define foods made without a protein found in

wheat, rye and barley as "gluten-free."

The proposal, detailed in the Jan. 23 issue of the Federal Register, would allow

companies to voluntarily flag foods without the cereal protein, which can cause

inflammation of the small intestine in the estimated 1.5 million to 3 million

Americans with celiac disease. Gluten may trigger an immune response in celiac

sufferers that damages the lining of the small intestine. Eventually, that

damage may hamper the ability of the intestine to absorb nutrients. Celiac

disease has no cure but may be managed by avoiding foods that contain gluten.

According to the F.D.A., the term "gluten-free" would be eligible to be used in

labeling of foods that do not contain any of the following:* an ingredient that

is any species of the grains wheat, rye, barley, or a crossbred hybrid of these

grains;* an ingredient that is derived from a prohibited grain and that has not

been processed to remove gluten (e.g., wheat flour);* an ingredient that is

derived from a prohibited grain and that has been processed to remove gluten

(e.g., wheat starch), if the use of that ingredient results in the presence of

20 parts per million or more gluten in the food;* or 20 p.p.m or more gluten.

The F.D.A. noted that any food that bears the "gluten-free" claim but fails to

meet the conditions specified in the proposed definition would be considered

"misbranded." "Establishing a definition of the term 'gluten-free' and uniform

conditions for its

use in the labeling of foods is needed to ensure that individuals with celiac

disease are not misled and are provided with truthful and accurate information

with respect to foods so labeled," the F.D.A. said. The F.D.A. is accepting

comments on the proposed rule until

April 23.

The following products have been reviewed for the possible presence/absence of

gluten. The guidelines used to make this determination are in accordance with

the FDA's definition of the term "gluten" as outlined in the proposed rule

(above) to define and permit the voluntary use of the labeling claim

gluten-free.

LOVE Marzetti's Ranch Veggi Dip........now you totally have me craving it!!

It's great to have this list -- although not everything on it is gluten free, just the items with a "Y" after it. For some reason, the Southwestern Ranch dip is NOT gluten free, although the regular ranch seems to be. I'm just noting this because the first time I read through it, I didn't realize the significance of the Y and N. Still, it is a nice long list of Y's!

[wowzer]

That is a really nice list to see. I hope more companies will follow this. Thank you so much for sharing it.

[missy'smom]

You're welcome. I contacted them to ask about one poduct only and they responded within two days with this list. I was suprized. I'm also suprized by how many are gluten-free, only a few are not. I did ask about manufacturing processes(shared equipment) but didn't get a response to that, but with so many gluten-free, maybe that's no so much of a concern.

[luvs2eat]

All their bleu cheese dressings are gluten-free??? I'll be SO happy if they are!!!

Dear missy'smom,

Thank you so much for posting this! This is so exciting! I wondered about their apple dip! I love apples and caramel dip! I have an idea for a recipe that would really be great with that!

I think its weird that their blue cheese dressing is gluten free. Blue cheese is typically aged in wheat; I was told to never eat blue cheese.

Also, every time I eat the T Marzetti Honey Balsamic dressing I get sick. I emailed them to find out about cross contamination. I was just wondering if anyone else has gotten sick from their products?

Cheers,

Andrea
