knowing, we have concluded that we are being asked to take senseless and

frightening risks, then we should no longer accept the counsel of those

who tell us that we must fill our world with poisonous chemicals, we

should look around and see what other course is open to us. "

GREAT NEWS!!! Sorry for the cross posting. . .

SENATE UNANIMOUSLY PASSES FOOD LABELING BILL

The U.S. Senate has unanimously passed S. 741, which includes the Food

Allergen Labeling and Protection Act.

The key provision labeling provisions:

1) Require that food ingredient statements identify in plain English that

an ingredient is itself, or derived from, one of the top 8 food allergens --

peanuts, tree nuts, fish, Crustacean shellfish, eggs, milk, soy, and wheat;

2) Require food ingredient statements to identify food allergens used in

spices, natural or artificial flavorings, additives, and colorings;

3) Require all foods to be re-labeled by January 1, 2006;

4) Require the Secretary of Health and Human Services to issue a rule

defining the term 'gluten-free' and permitting use of the term on food labeling;

and

5) Require a final rule regarding the voluntary use of 'gluten-free' on food

labels be issued not later than 4 years after this bill becomes law.

This historic, bipartisan vote, sends a LOUD and clear message to the House

of Representatives -- it's time to fix food labels.

Thank you for all your work to bring the celiac community to this point.

Scream and shout today, tomorrow we tackle the House of Representatives.
