Say hello to...Canadian gluten labelling.

The label can definitely make or break the purchasing deal. If I'm not sure about an ingredient on a label, I definitely won't be buying the product. The States is more than often one step ahead of Canada and has long since changed their labelling laws to include any source of gluten in a product. Slowly, but surely, Canada will get there too. The new Food and Drug Regulations will require any source of gluten (and it's derivatives) to be declared on labels. The companies will have a year to change their labels once the regulations are enforced. Although this is slow in happening, atleast it's going forward and happening :) Check out the article for yourself on Health Canada.
