> Talking about wrapping all food in our society using a product derived from an allergen like this is going to cause trauma and worry for those with serious allergies It is really productive to tell people not to talk about something because talking about it might cause trauma or worry? Does this thread need a trigger warning? The FDA has, IMO quite reasonably, created an actual definition of “gluten-free”. The OP describes this new material as “amylose-derived”, and amylose is a starch. Any problematic proteins could surely be separated from the starches to much better than the FDA requirement. |

I believe you don’t think through anything you say if you can say something as foolish as that.
Companies already do not go beyond the standard required by the FDA when they were use sugar derived from wheat in their products.
This “sugar” makes people who are very sensitive to gluten very ill and uncertain as to what foods are genuinely safe.
The FDA do not require companies to put labels on the food stating it’s derived from wheat. They don’t have to label the food as containing wheat or gluten.
Yet the food for example sweets where 80% of its composition may come directly from sugar “derived from” (and so is) wheat basically and contaminated are just labelled as containing sugar.
I don’t think any gluten intolerant person wants to be chewing on mouthfuls of partial wheat or have all of their foods wrapped in similar materials
The FDA will gaslight them and hand wave it a away saying that they can’t reliably test levels below a certain threshold and they’re being selfish as micro plastics are harming the 99.9% (which is bs)
