Food Allergy Awareness Week
Celiac Disease is an autoimmune disease, not a food allergy. However, like people with food allergies, our health and safety relies on following a strict diet, and avoiding food proteins that make us sick. We are stronger when our two communities support one another.
ALSO, Meijer has LOTS of gluten free groceries on sale this week. And the Aldi cheesecake will return on May 14th. I do NOT see any other gluten free special buys on the Aldi website at this time.
Do You Know the Top 9 Food Allergens?
When it comes to food labeling, we know the United States is far behind other countries. However, we also fall behind other in labeling of food allergies. For example, the European Union also requires the labeling of sulfites, celery, lupin, mollusks and mustard.
This is why it’s important to contact our members in the US Congress to ask them to support the Food Labeling Modernization Act to add all gluten containing grains to FALCPA. We also need to support the ADINA Act, to require allergen labeling in prescription medications.
