New rule provides standard definition to protect the health of Americans with celiac disease.
August 2, 2013
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration today published a new regulation defining the term "gluten-free" for voluntary food labeling. This will provide a uniform standard definition to help the up to 3 million Americans who have celiac disease, an autoimmune digestive condition that can be effectively managed only by eating a gluten free diet.
A line of GMO-free potato-based maltodextrins is manufactured by Emsland Group under the Kyrosan brand name and available through American Key Food Products.
