US FDA: Regelgeving voor gebruik ‘gluten-vrij’ op etiket

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has released a proposed rule to establish requirements for fermented and hydrolyzed foods, or foods that contain fermented or hydrolyzed ingredients, vinegar, and bear the “gluten-free” claim. The proposed rule, titled “Gluten-Free Labeling of Fermented or Hydrolyzed Foods,” pertains to foods such as yogurt, pickles, cheese, vinegar, and FDA regulated beers.
The proposed rule, when finalized, would require manufacturers to make and keep records demonstrating assurance that the food meets the requirements of the gluten-free food labeling rule. The FDA is accepting public comments beginning Wednesday, November 18 (FDA Constituent Update, 17 november 2015).
