More and more consumers are concerned about choosing foods with ecolabels/certifications. (The National Agriculture Library added ecolabelling to its thesaurus in 2011.) These labels not only address earth-friendly practices (environmental sustainability) but also practices that are safer/better for workers and animals. What's a consumer (or nutritionist) to do in light of the proliferation of these ecolabels and certifications? Here's how to keep up.

In 2017, sorghum moved to the front page of hot food trends. But in the late 1990s, sorghum flour was introduced to people with celiac disease as a new gluten-free substitute to enhanced baked goods and improve nutrition. Today, sorghum takes center plate, and chefs are exploring the beauty and versatility of this ancient grain. It can be found on menus across the country in various forms and applications for all types of diners.

FDA
More than 99.5 percent of sampled food products labeled "gluten-free" are in compliance with FDA's requirement that such foods have less than 20 ppm (parts per million) of gluten. This is the finding of an FDA sampling assignment in which 702 samples from more than 250 products labeled "gluten free" were collected and analyzed. Only one of those products was found to not comply with one of the major FDA requirements that went into effect in August 2014 for manufacturers using the term "gluten-free" on their labeling. This product was recalled and subsequent sampling by the FDA did not find levels of gluten that violated the regulation.
