Around the world - Challenges and Potential Solutions in Gluten Free Product Development: Regulatory and Labelling
Dec 08, 2021
Gluten in food is the major health concern for Gluten-intolerant people worldwide for many years. This can be minimized by the avoidance of gluten in the diet as it does not have a cure. The control and management of gluten in food have been recognized by many countries as an important food safety concern and risk management problem in recent years. Many nation governments and organizations have implemented laws, policies, regulations for the manufacturers, retailers, and marketers to indicate the label “gluten-free” on the package to communicate, control and manage the existence or non-existence of gluten in food. The regulations for gluten-free are designed to specify no adverse level of gluten (below 20 ppm) than fully gluten absence. Numerous countries such as South Africa, the united states, Canada, Europe, China, Japan, India, and Australia, etc., have issued “Gluten-free” regulations. The regulation for “Gluten-free foods” differs from the country. The public should know the regulations and labels of the organization to avoid the mis-consumption of “Gluten-free “foodstuffs”. The word “Gluten-free” on labeling is provided by quantitatively detecting the gluten content by standardizing methods of Analysis like enzyme-linked immunoassay (ELISA). The regulations are the corporative linkage between the government, industry, and consumer.
