Just heard from Dairy UK: 'milk free' remains a permitted statement, so hopefully brands who wish to use it will continue to do so. #milkallergy
Hate Oatly for what they did to Glebe Farm, but this is the correct decision. If it deters brands from using 'milk free' as an allergy-safe claim, it might however impact those with milk allergy.

Lots of coverage (BBC, Express, Standard, Indy ...), but all seem to miss this pt. I'm guessing there's an exemption in France (?), which is why it was not highlighted by researchers. Perhaps worth reassuring milk allergy members, @AllergyUK1 @AnaphylaxisUK @NatashasLegacy? 3/3

Ursula published the recently vindicated Kathleen Stock, then suffered for it. My publisher was hers, and I’ve supported her case. Fellow writers, especially: please read/consider doing same. Publishing, like academia, is in a wretched state on free speech and freedom of belief.
I resigned from my job in book publishing and am taking my former employer to a tribunal - here's why. There is a link to my crowdfunder in the next post; I'm very grateful for all shares and donations.

Big thanks to @BBCMorningLive for correcting the mistake before the end of the show. It often takes ages for corrections to happen & whilst its never ideal for incorrect info to be stated - correct info being provided within the same show is amazing. Spelt is NOT gluten free 🙌

No it is not #glutenfree @BBCMorningLive . Spelt is an ancient wheat grain .Another faux pas . Seriously. Thank you @beckyexcell and @FreeFromWriter
@Coeliac_UK
Just three months ago following the Ravneet Gill / Bake Off incident, I said that TV presenters overseeing food shows or segments need to be trained in basic allergy / coeliac / gluten training so as to be able to intervene when something like this happens. Spelt is wheat!

Just a reminder to anyone who watched @BBCMorningLive today that spelt flour is NOT gluten free. I thought it was important to mention this incase anybody is now confused. It would be great if @BBCMorningLive could correct this info asap. Thank you x @Coeliac_UK 🧡

Disappointing that this article, by a GP no less, presents self-diagnosis of coeliac disease in a "commendable" light. Suspected CD should be rigorously assessed by medics before GF diets are introduced. #coeliac #glutenfree cc @Coeliac_UK
🧠 Coeliac disease may also be a ‘hidden’ cause of three serious neurological syndromes, but is the right diet a remedy? Find out here 👇
