Q#1: How long have you been doing Gluten Free Watchdog and why did you decide to start this? 

Answer: “Gluten Free Watchdog, LLC was founded in 2011 to make state-of-the-art gluten-free food testing data available to consumers with celiac disease. GFWD is dedicated to ensuring accuracy in gluten-free labeling.”

Q#2: What do you wish more dietitians realized about celiac disease and gluten-free products?

Answer: “…it would be helpful if more dietitians knew the rules pertaining to gluten-free labeling. Based on our testing, the vast majority of labeled gluten-free foods test below 20 parts per million of gluten. However, we continue to have issues with facial misbranding. This means that a labeled gluten-free food includes an ingredient not allowed under the FDA's gluten-free labeling rule. These products should be reported to an FDA consumer complaint coordinator. Helpful information is available at https://www.fda.gov/food/food-labeling-nutrition/questions-and-answers-gluten-free-food-labeling-final-rule. And of course we are always willing to help.
