Guys... it is time to PARTY!
It has been 9 years, but finally the FDA has ruled on what "gluten free" can mean in the USA. The verdict, not surprisingly, is less than 20 parts per million - aka the same standards Europe recognizes.
This means that gluten-free actually now will mean something if you see it on packages. This isn't going to happen overnight, companies have a year, so please as always be careful.
This has the potential to make life a lot easier. I am hoping that full disclosure on binding ingredients in prescription drugs are next!
I am literally singing about this on the twitters.
UPDATE - more information about what this really means is available on the FDA page
