Mislabeled Gluten-Free Products

Dear Friends and Colleagues,

The gluten-free community would greatly benefit from your help with encouraging the FDA to enforce its gluten-free labeling rule.  

There is a growing list of products reported to the FDA which are incorrectly labeled gluten-free, in violation of the FDA's gluten-free labeling rule.  These products include a gluten-free claim on the packaging yet contain wheat, wheat flour, barley malt, or other gluten-containing grain. Dietitian Tricia Thompson, of Gluten Free Watchdog, is once again leading the charge to help expose these confusing labels and unsafe products.  She recommends that consumers and dietitians engage in a letter-writing campaign to the Health and Human Services leadership at the Food and Drug Administration. 

Sample letters and a running list of misbranded products are available on her website along with addresses here. 

If you find a product that you believe is misbranded, Tricia asks that you include a photo of that product along with your letter. 

Thank you for any help you can provide!

Sincerely,

Melinda
