    There isn't always a date stamp on all foods, and even if there is the placement of that stamp is not in a place that the FDA would allow food manufacturers to convey allergen information. Further, most of the stamp machinery has a very limited field length that would likely not accommodate such information (I proposed that a European company whose foods...

    Riceguy the "gluten-free" claim on the label would mean less than 20ppm, so why would a company need to add further information per batch...of course that would add more expense to the food, and quite frankly, not many companies would want to do this, and yes, it would increase their liability. Again, the current labeling laws address these concerns rather...

    Well, this additional info could be quite confusing to most people, and could cause unnecessary alarm in some as well. Again, these numbers can fluctuate from batch to batch, so I don't see how they could be printed on labels with confidence. What if they print labels with <10ppm because 20 of their last batches tested below this, then they get a batch...

    Hello Jestgar, Thank you for this. It looks like we agree on most of this stuff, like: Companies can use "Gluten-Free" on a label if they guarantee that something contains <20ppm--I agree. The Allergen Protection Act already requires companies to list any of of the top 8 allergens present, so labels that say "Produced in a facility that also makes...

    Jestgar, I am still not sure that you answered those 2 questions. So can a company use "Gluten-Free" on the packaging if they have 4ppm? Is your answer yes, but they have to put additional info as well? Does a company that isn't making the "Gluten-Free" claim also need to do this? Sorry but it still isn't clear from your answer. There are already labeling...

    In reply to Jestgar's post...I may be misunderstanding what you mean. The new labeling laws in the USA, if adopted as drafted, would require food companies to guarantee that if they use the claim "gluten-free" on their labels it would mean that the product would contain less than 20ppm when tested. So essentially your <20ppm would be satisfied...items...

    Labeling it "what it is" often changes with every batch--especially when foods are co-packaged on lines that also make foods that contain wheat. Labels are very expensive. To do what you propose would mean printing dozens of versions of labels for each food...maybe even hundreds of versions...this expense would be passed on to the consumer and in the end...

    PS - Everyone please re-read the board's rules--remember this isn't a place to quarrel... Thank you! Scott

    I think you might be missing the point here: If you make the threshold zero no companies will put "Gluten-Free" on their label do to liability concerns...would that be a victory for us? Take care, Scott
  21. Scott Adams
    GFP you have no idea about the real expense of such measures and what it would mean to the cost of the foods--very few people would be able to afford the real cost associated with taking out another 10 or 20 ppm of gluten. Anyone can sit around and create dozens of different scenarios that would keep more gluten out of the food supply, but you must understand...

    GFP you're trying to turn this thread into a labeling debate, which it isn't. You are also ignoring the fact that you attacked someone in this thread whose sole aim is to help celiacs like you--and you basically accused them of lying and taking money to promote McDonald's. You conveniently ignore scientific data, and you fail to understand that while...

    Hello Everyone, First I'd like to apologize to Cynthia for GFP's behavior in this thread. The moderators and I feel that he crossed the line here and he was given a warning for his behavior. Second, I'd like to address some comments that GFP made that are false and misleading. GFP is looking at history here with 20/20 hindsight, and fails...

    I haven't seen this glitch, or heard of it, but it is doubtful that anyone is visiting here using your account...unless you gave that info to someone. Take care, Scott
