"Science-based technological progress in agriculture, however, does not necessarily need to focus on productivity gains, and it can be redirected toward other objectives valued by consumers." ?

 

"As long as the manufacturer gets it right (and they sometimes don’t) you’re fine."

(Ouch - labeling errors- ??)

 

Thanks good read and hits home, for even a non top 8 allergen sources that don't require labeling or undeclared ingredients can mean symptoms, pain, and damage to us. 

Says my neuropathy to maltodextrin this week. Not required on label , not a top 8 allergens.

I dream of corn becoming the 9th top allergen i.e. Requires labeling 

all I wanted was a glass of herbal tea ?

      But here's the thing. As long as the product in question tests out at less than 10ppm of gluten then the company can legitimately advertise it as certified gluten free according to GFCO standards. Here they claim their products have "No Gluten": https://www.kachava.com/ingredients . I suppose you could quibble with them over the verbiage that "No Gluten" is not the same as "Certified Gluten Free".

      Thanks so much for this post. I was actually thinking of purchasing it as they do advertise it as gluten-free on their website. But, I clearly had not scrutinized the label closely enough!

      Celiac Diagnosis from Bloodwork Only?

      By trents · Posted

      There are some causes besides celiac disease for elevated tTG-IGA, such as cow's milk protein, some other bowel diseases, NSAIDs, a certain blood pressure med and parasitic infections but the chances of that being true are not very high compared to the cause being celiac disease. And even with CMP (Cow's Milk Protein) most of those cases involve people who already have celiac disease.

      Did you purchase it thinking it was gluten free? The company doesn't advertise it as such do they? Barley is not one of the eight main allergens that the FDA requires to be posted in the allergen info. Wheat is but not barley. But good catch. We don't see many products with barley and rye as ingredients and it is easy to get lazy, not really read the detailed ingredient list and to just go straight for the allergen list.
