FDA Urges Restaurants To Comply With Gluten-Free Regulations






ARE WE EXCITED, EH?
      
WHAT'S THIS MEAN?  
    
WHAT WILL ACTUALLY HAPPEN?

The FDA follow up announcement was shared with me via Celiac.com and I am very excited about this update, albeit FDA has passed no laws! This additional clarification puts a well needed pressure on the restaurant industry to be completely accountable for their gluten-free menus options. I've lived in NY, NJ and Colorado and have visited dozens of states in search for restaurants with legitimate, safe gluten-free options finding a 99.9% failure rate. Have you given in to the typical, irresponsible gluten-free menus before?

Contamination Reality


Being gluten-free can be a bit lonely and at times you may feel socially separated. We've all felt that way and that's okay because we are different. It's important to understand and feel confident that you're not like everyone else because you can't eat gluten, a protein found in wheat, barley, rye, malts and more.

I was recently reading this article from Celiac.com about gluten-free students who are stepping up to the reality that they can't eat from their own university dining hall. They can't eat at restaurants either because of the high level of contamination. We've seen many restaurants around the globe create gluten-free menus, offer to come up with a unique dish for you, but is it safe enough?
