Excellent breakdown! Easy to read and understand. Thank you!
Thank you, Al. This means a lot coming from you.
Thank you for all your hard work and attention on behalf of the celiac population. Would it be possible for you to include a link in an email coming up soon so we can click on it and write to the FDA and any other agencies that are appropriate expressing our support for the three acts that you support above.
Thanks so much for commenting. If you go to the bill for the Celiac Safety Act, there is a place to give feedback to your members of Congress. See https://www.congress.gov/bill/119th-congress/house-bill/9048 (right hand side of the page). There hasn’t yet been a push for support of the FLMA 2026–we will keep you posted. There isn’t a bill for cross contact in oats, but the FDA asked for information as part of their RFI (request for information) in earlier this year. The comment period is now closed. However, when you contact your members of Congress about the Celiac Safety Act you can express your support for the FDA taking steps to reduce cross contact in oats.
