Happy Celiac Disease Awareness Month 2020

Happy Celiac Disease Awareness Month. At my house, we kicked things off on Friday with gluten-free carob chip banana muffins. During a pandemic is an interesting time to be raising awareness about a disease. Our activities are a bit subdued this year but nonetheless important and hopefully helpful to the community.

What is Gluten Free Watchdog up to this month? We will be…

• Providing status updates on our 2019 initiatives, including information on:
  • Allergen advisory statements for wheat on foods labeled gluten-free
  • Gluten in medication
  • Restaurants and gluten-free claims
• Updating the community on gluten-free facial misbranding and FDA & USDA enforcement of gluten-free claims
• Unveiling our new FDA campaign targeting foods labeled gluten-free containing hydrolyzed wheat (e.g., wheat-based soy sauce) and fermented/hydrolyzed barley (e.g., barley malt)
• Testing oat milks
