Guest guest Posted January 29, 2009 Report Share Posted January 29, 2009 I have found some companies do label, but there seems to be an overwhelming number of companies that do not. Then there is always the chance of the company changing the ingredients with out any warming. Some companies I have also found out are not very nice to talk to either. Gatorade, they say there is no manager food allergen in the product, but every time I drink it I get extremely sick for about a week or so. For the most part if a products says " shared equipment " you maybe better off not buying this products. Especially if your allergies are bad, also you never know how well the equipment is cleaned. I do not mean to be a downer, labels are just getting to me lately:( I was sick for over two weeks because of companies changing ingredients with out warming:(. I can not wait to see " gluten free " , " dairy free " on all products. It would make life so much easier:) Tammy --- In , " berkeleymonarch " <berkeleymonarch@...> wrote: > > What are companies required to put on labels besides the basic > allergens, if anything? > > If products are produced on " shared equipment " are they required to > print that on the label? > > Are there certification or standards to back up a company that claims > gluten free with no info on " shared equipment " ? > > I am trying to navigate my way through all this new information and > I'm learning things everyday and emailing lots of companies.

Guest guest Posted January 29, 2009 Report Share Posted January 29, 2009 The only thing they are required by law to put on there is the top 8, gluten not being one of them. All the other labels are voluntary at the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
