Information to Consumers on the Absence or Reduced Presence of Gluten in Food

tlooto Summary

This article seeks to analyse what is new in this Community legislation concerning the composition and labelling of foodstuffs suitable for people intolerant to gluten.

Abstract

This article seeks to analyse what is new in this Community legislation. To do so it would be appropriate to first look briefly at Commission Regulation (EC) No 41/2009 of 20 January 2009 concerning the composition and labelling of foodstuffs suitable for people intolerant to gluten, especially because Implementing Regulation No. 828/2014 will only enter into force on 20 July 2016, and in the meantime the 2009 Regulation will continue to regulate information about the food in question.
