Tell the FDA to publish the gluten-free labeling rules NOW!

[Guest guest]

Hello

to all in the national celiac and gluten-free community,

I eat

gluten-free and I VOTE!

The

Food and Drug Administration is over two years late publishing the gluten-free

labeling rules mandated by Congress in the Food Allergen Labeling and

Consumer Protection of 2004 (FALCPA). The rules were due by August 2008.

Congress needs to press the FDA to act, and the FDA needs to get the job

done.

We

are tired of wondering if the food we buy is safe and tired of waiting quietly

for the FDA to get around to doing its job. The FDA has had over SIX YEARS to

study this issue. Enough!

The

American Celiac Disease Alliance is urging everyone to act now. It

takes just a couple of minutes to use their website to automatically send

emails to the Food and Drug Administration and Health and Human Services (both

run by women!), and your Senators and Representative in Congress.

Beth

Hillson, President of the American Celiac Disease Alliance, writes,

"Let's show our strength by shouting out how important this is to

us. Tell the FDA to finish the GF Labeling regulations. Tell them

that people with celiac disease require safe, gluten-free foods.

Tell them to finish the FALCPA Labeling Rules NOW."

Go

to http://www.capwiz.com/celiac/home/ to

send emails or letters today. You can use their letters or write your own.

Forward

and post this link on every celiac and gluten-free blog, list and group. FDA,

GET THE JOB DONE!

I

would like to thank the American Celiac Disease Alliance (http://americanceliac.org/) for organizing

this effort and providing this service for free, and encourage everyone to

support ACDA with a donation.
