UK: FDF launches gluten labelling guide

The Food & Drink Federation (FDF) has launched a new best practice guide to help manufacturers adhere to the Food Information to Consumers (FIC) Regulation and to provide consumers with clear and consistent allergens labelling.
The gluten labelling guide has been developed by the FDF with support from Coeliac UK, Anaphylaxis Campaign and the British Retail Consortium. This best practice has been produced to illustrate examples of the usual as well as some of the more challenging labelling situations of gluten containing foods, and it also covers claims for gluten-free foods. Special consideration is also given to oats and wheat (FDF Press Release, 29 June 2015).
