Conference about Gluten - Free Product: How to Prove & Display It Correctly
The gluten-free market is one of the fastest growing markets worldwide. For the 18 million Americans who suffer from gluten intolerance, gluten sensitivity or celiac disease, gluten - free products are a necessity.
To help assure customer confidence, the FDA issued a final rule in August 5, 2014 that defines gluten - free claims across the food industry. To enforce the final rule FDA may use its full range of routine post- market monitoring activities, including periodic inspections of manufacturer's facilities, food label reviews and gluten analyses of food samples.
