Food Links

A word of warning: For those new to gluten free living, or the world of food allergies, please be advised that the phrase 'gluten free' or 'corn free' or 'anything free' usually means 'tested less than X parts per million,' with X being the legal limit for 'Free of this food,' or X being 'the best we can scientifically test for at the moment.' This is seldom zero parts per million. Gluten Free is typically somewhere between 10-20 ppm. Corn Free, I've heard, is about 50ppm.

Unfortunately, some of us seem to react to less than the legal limit, or to less than the tests can detect, so it pays to be aware of what substances are derived from or processed with, just in case you turn out to be extra-sensitive. In today's world of legal jargon and industrial food processing, we need to be educated so we can keep ourselves and our families safe. :-)
