The following news is from the Foodmanufacturing.com and FDA on November 18, 2015.
The FDA is proposing a rule to establish labeling requirements for fermented, hydrolyzed and distilled foods that bear a gluten-free label. "There is uncertainty in interpreting the results of current gluten test methods for fermented and hydrolyzed foods on a quantitative basis that equates the test results in terms of intact gluten." These foods will be required to be gluten-free before the fermentation or hydrolysis and no contamination in processing. Distilled products will be required to demonstrate that there is no gluten in the final product.
