ues-
tion:
Dear
Bar
y did
spelt products'
labels recently
go from "wheat
alternative" to
"contains wheat"? Thanks. Raya.

A

nswer: Dear Raya, Spelt
(T•iticum spelta), an
ancient grain from Cen-
tral Europe of the same. genus
(classification) as wheat, has been
promoted as a popular alternative
to common wheat – one that some
claim is suitable for people suf-
fering from wheat or gluten
-4-- intolerance (the latter known
as celiac disease).

Celiac disease is an auto-
immune disease of the
digestive system that can
interfere with nutri-
ent absorption, and is
associated with the
consumption of gluten,
a protein accounting for
about 80% of the protein
found in wheat. Dermatitis
herpetiformis is a skin
condition closely associated with
celiac disease caused by a gluten
allergy. It is true that spelt contains
a moderate amount of gluten.

Effective January 1, 2006, the
Food Allergen Labeling and Con,
sumer Protection Act (FALCPA)
of 2004 requires that an ingredient
that is or contains a protein from
any of the 8 specified major food
allergens (wheat being one) either
list the allergen in parenthesis or
use the word "contains" followed
by the named allergen. Spelt con-
tains gluten, hence the new label,
"contains wheat." I hope this helps.
