Last year, U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) officials made a commitment that the Gluten-Free labeling rules would be completed by the end of Q3 2012 which has come and gone. Now it's time for the Obama Administration to know the US community needs Gluten-Free labeling standards. The White House has provided us the opportunity to express our concerns through an open petition. Make sure your voice is heard! Visit the WhiteHouse.gov "We the People" website to sign the petition According to the White House, if enough people sign the petition, it will be reviewed and administration officials will respond to the signers of the petition. In other words, we'll have their attention. We need at least 25,000 signatures by November 1st…and right now we still need OVER 18,000 signatures to reach the goal of 25,000!! Anyone age 13 and over can sign the petition. In order to sign, users must create an account at WhiteHouse.gov and verify their email address. It's quick and easy!  Keep in mind that Australia, New Zealand and the European Union have had Gluten-Free labeling laws in place for years! Please sign the petition today! We petition the Obama Administration to: Finalize Standards for GLUTEN-FREE Labeling The Food Allergen Labeling and Consumer Protection Act required Health and Human Services to set a Gluten-Free labeling rule by 2008 to aid people with Celiac Disease, a life-threatening autoimmune condition and Gluten Intolerance. The only known treatment is a strict Gluten-Free Lifestyle. An estimated 3 million Americans have Celiac Disease and even more may have Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity. Without adequate labeling, adults and children on a medically prescribed Gluten-Free diet struggle to make safe food choices and stay well. Children with Celiac Disease or Gluten-Intolerance cannot participate in the National School Lunch Program when food service staff cannot determine if products are Gluten-Free. Congress did its part by passing the law. It is up to the White House to protect the health of millions of adults and children by finalizing the rule NOW. Visit the WhiteHouse.gov "We the People" website to sign the petition. Carolanne LeBlancEmail: GlutenFreeInFlorida@Yahoo.comFaceBook: www.facebook.com/glutenfree.infloridaE-group: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/GlutenFreeInFlorida
