The following has been lifted directly from the Coeliac UK newsletter. This should be of particular interest to anyone concerned about trace-amounts of gluten in food and could lead to a more restricted diet for us coeliacs!
Coeliac UK has been successful in its proposal submitted to the FSA to review the literature on gluten-free threshold levels and will be working in collaboration with a Cochrane reviewer, Dr Tony Akobeng, Consultant Paediatric Gastroenterologist at the Booth Hall Children’s Hospital. Doctor Akobeng has carried out many literature reviews for the Cochrane library (a database of scientific reviews). The aim is to publish findings in the autumn and input to the International Codex meeting in November.

My son is on a gluten-free diet. Anything that improves labelling or encourages the production of gluten-free food gets my approval.

If you’re in the UK hopefully you have a copy of the CoeliacUK Food and Drink Directory?
