Consumer Reports submitted a letter urging the FDA to mandate the labeling of all gluten-containing grains—including barley, rye, and oats—as “Major Food Allergens” on packaged foods in the United States. Currently, only wheat is required to be declared, leaving 3.3 million Americans with Celiac Disease at risk for accidental gluten consumption and elevated risks of severe conditions like digestive cancers. CR calls on the FDA to use its existing statutory authority to expedite comprehensive gluten labeling, aligning U.S. consumer protections with 87 other countries.
