Researchers studied 5,600 food tests over the course of 18 months. The results came back that 1 in 3 food items were not gluten free, meaning, it tested ABOVE 20ppm.
Over 5 years ago, a law was passed that companies who want the GF label had to test under 20ppm. The simple fact that these errors continue to happen is just putting those of us with Celiac Disease at risk for serious complications (cancer, infertility, osteoporosis, death).
Look, I know a small portion of us can be overbearing with having to be completely GF. However, these food issues are playing with our lives. None of us want to be sick, and we certainly don't want to die from complications related to Celiac Disease.
I really hope that food companies and restaurants get their act together.
Also, I have a sense of humor and I try to be positive and make light of situations. However, this situation isn't funny.
