Intestinal cleansing or colon cleansing has been practiced for over…

Clearly, food is regulated differently and production methods vary from country to country. Yet this is no excuse for the mishaps that happen during the production of food. There have been cases of mislabeling food products with “gluten free” when they weren’t. As minor as the mistake was, it had dire consequences.
