Gluten-Free Diet Gluten-Free Diet If you feel frustrated and helpless due to food allergies, you are not alone. Up to 60% of Americans have shown signs of food allergy at one time or another. About 10% of food allergy sufferers exhibit symptoms serious enough to see a doctor. Food allergy typically does not appear overnight. In susceptible people, allergies to foods eaten regularly, (if not daily), progress over time. Because allergy onset is subtle, identifying offending foods can be difficult and often requires trial diets. Once the food has been identified, the patient may incorporate acceptable substitutes in his or her diet and avoid the food completely. Nearly any type of food can cause allergy, but cow’s milk, eggs, fish, shellfish, nuts, corn, cereal grains, chocolate, Citrus fruits, peanuts and soy products most commonly provoke reactions. Because many foods come from related plant and animal species, which contain cross-reacting substances, a person may suffer allergic reaction from a food ha has never eaten. The website www.dpcAlaSTAT.com provides information on specific allergens, peak pollination seasons, and allergen cross-reactivity. The following diet excludes all gluten and gluten-containing products, including wheat, rye, oats, and barley. However, gluten is often found as an incidental ingredient. You should omit the following ingredients: · Hydrolyzed vegetable protein · Flour or cereal products · Vegetable protein · Malt and malt flavorings · Starch (unless specified as corn or other allowed starch) Also be aware that flavorings, vegetable gum, emulsifiers, and stabilizers may be composed of including wheat, rye, oats, or barley. When in doubt, contact the manufacturer to determine complete ingredients. When dining out: · Choose foods prepared simply, such as broiled or roasted meats, plain vegetables, and plain salads. · Inquire about food preparation methods, as cereal and flour products are often used. · Avoid all breaded and creamed foods, meatloaf and gravies. These are allowed if prepared at home using acceptable ingredients.

  • Canadian Wheat
    Canadian Wheat By: J. E. Dexter1, K.R. Preston1 and N. J. Woodbeck2 Chapter 6: Future of flour a compendium of flour improvement, 2006, pg - 43-62 Edited by Lutz Popper, Wermer Schafer and Walter Freund. Agrimedia, Bergen. Dunne, Germany. 1 Canadian Grain Commission, Grain Research Laboratory, 1404-303 Main Street, Winnipeg, Manitoba, R3C 3G8, Canada 2 Canadian Grain Commission, Industry Services, 900-303 Main Street, Winnipeg, Manitoba, R3C 3G8, Canada Introduction The vast majority of Canadian wheat is produced in western Canada (Manitoba and provinces to the west). A high proportion of western Canadian wheat is exported, and it is marketed in a highly regulated fashion. As soon as western Canadian wheat is delivered by producers to a grain elevator the wheat becomes the property of the Canadian Wheat Board, which is a single desk seller for western Canadian wheat. Approval for registration into any of the eight classes of wheat in western Canada is based on merit according to disease resistance, agronomic performance and processing quality. Wheat is also produced in eastern Canada, primarily in southern Ontario. Eastern Canadian wheat is also registered on the basis of merit, although processing quality models are not quite as strictly defined as for western Canada. There is no single desk seller for eastern Canadian wheat. Eastern Canadian wheat is marketed by private trading companies and the Ontario Wheat Producers Marketing Board. Approximately 50% of eastern Canadian wheat disappears domestically. The Canadian Grain Commission (CGC), a Department within Agriculture and Agri- Food Canada (AAFC), oversees quality assurance of Canadian grains, oilseeds, pulses and special crops.

  • The Canadian Wheat Board, Warburtons, and the Creative
    The Canadian Wheat Board and the creative re- constitution of the Canada-UK wheat trade: wheat and bread in food regime history by André J. R. Magnan A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Department of Sociology University of Toronto © Copyright by André Magnan 2010. Abstract Title: The Canadian Wheat Board and the creative re-constitution of the Canada-UK wheat trade: wheat and bread in food regime history Author: André J. R. Magnan Submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Department of Sociology University of Toronto, 2010. This dissertation traces the historical transformation of the Canada-UK commodity chain for wheat-bread as a lens on processes of local and global change in agrofood relations. During the 1990s, the Canadian Wheat Board (Canada‟s monopoly wheat seller) and Warburtons, a British bakery, pioneered an innovative identity- preserved sourcing relationship that ties contracted prairie farmers to consumers of premium bread in the UK. Emblematic of the increasing importance of quality claims, traceability, and private standards in the reorganization of agrifood supply chains, I argue that the changes of the 1990s cannot be understood outside of historical legacies giving shape to unique institutions for regulating agrofood relations on the Canadian prairies and in the UK food sector. I trace the rise, fall, and re-invention of the Canada-UK commodity chain across successive food regimes, examining the changing significance of wheat- bread, inter-state relations between Canada, the UK, and the US, and public and private forms of agrofood regulation over time.

  • My Name Is Bill Stadtlander and I Own a Small Company, Homestat Farm
    My name is Bill Stadtlander and I own a small company, Homestat Farm, which makes Maypo, Wheatena and Maltex – hot cereals which, as many mothers have said to their children, are good and good for you. Homestat Farm was formed in October 2001 when I purchased these brands, as well as G. Washington’s Seasoning and Broth, from ConAgra Grocery Products. My Company is located in Dublin, Ohio and we have a manufacturing facility in Highspire, PA. where our cereals are manufactured. We work with BCTGM Local 464. Homestat Farm is a small company. Our annual sales are $4,500,000 -- all in the United States -- with sales of $70,000 of Wheatena in California. We have 3 full-time employees and 3 part-time consultants in our Dublin office which are new jobs that were created when I bought the business. In our manufacturing facility, we have 2 full-time employees in administration and 10 full-time union employees. Although I am a small company, I pay a good wages to my employees, I pay 85% of their health insurance, and I have a pension plan for the union employees related to their years of service. I spent more than 25 years working for food and consumer product companies, many of those years making nutritious foods. I created Homestat Farm because I wanted to continue to offer (as my slogan says) “Healthy Nutrition for Those You Love”. I do not know how many on this committee had Wheatena growing up, but I did, and I did not want to see Wheatena disappear.
