US debuts actual gluten-free standard

So now what we really need are two different labels, gluten free process and gluten free with consumer education. This reminds me of when those hippie farmers fought to get organic labels from the government only to lose control of the word.

Well, at least we don't have to deal with ambiguous "G " labels.

"GF " now means "Gluten Free"
while the non-existant "GM"
retains the meaning "Genetically Modified"

Maybe Monsanto will eventually come up with barley that is GMGF.
