Proposed labeling by @GeneralMills of using "GF" for a product that is not also labeled "gluten-free" violates the spirit if not the letter of the @US_FDA #glutenfree labeling rule & is an ill-considered affront to #celiac advocacy & #glutenfree consumers generalmillscf.com/products/categ… 
@GeneralMills @US_FDA Thanks to @GFWatchdog for alerting the community to this issue and taking the lead. @GeneralMills needs to provide a statement. We would consider a boycott if this cannot be resolved through other means. It's an unsafe approach to labeling #publichealth #celiac
@GeneralMills @US_FDA @GFWatchdog While @GeneralMills is planning to skirt and possibly violate the @US_FDA #glutenfree labeling rule with "gluten friendly" products using a "GF" symbol, note that the unwelcome term has only been used in restaurants, not on packaged products made in controlled environments
@GeneralMills @US_FDA @GFWatchdog The products in question are on the General Mills food service site @GeneralMillsCF. The @US_FDA did not intend a two-tier system of gluten-free and gluten-friendly. Product manufacturers should not be in the business of monetizing unsafe practices that imperil public health
