Is Your Label Gluten Free?
With the increased demand for gluten-free products in the marketplace, food processors and manufacturers have started to develop more and more better-tasting and nutritious food products that also are gluten-free. However, the federal food labeling regulations for gluten-free products can be very confusing for small food processors and new food product entrepreneurs.
The purpose of this bulletin is to assist small food processors and food entrepreneurs in their understanding of the FDA labeling requirements for putting “gluten-free” on the label of packaged food products. The authors do not claim interpretation or replacement of any other federal or state regulations about labeling requirements.
