FDA Proposal Would Make Clear There's No Gluten in Your Pills

December 12, 2017 from Bloomberg and FDA

"In draft guidance issued on Tuesday," the FDA "is pushing drugmakers to clearly label that medications taken orally don’t have ingredients from grains that include gluten like wheat, barley or rye."
"Currently there are no drugs marketed in the U.S. that contain gluten in a quantity that would exceed the amount in a gluten-free food product, the FDA said. The new rules are an attempt to reduce uncertainty for people with gluten sensitivities or diseases aggravated by ingesting gluten.
