Celiac awareness on the rise

May 28, 2009 – More and more food producers, including bakeries, are turning to gluten-free (GF) products to capitalize on the growing presence of celiac disease and wheat and gluten allergies in our culture.

With the Canadian Celiac Association holding its national conference this weekend in Waterloo, Ont., we thought it might be a good idea to put up a poll asking whether you are producing or offering GF products at your business, or whether you plan to. Be sure to cast your vote!

May 28, 2009 – More and more food
producers, including bakeries, are turning to gluten-free (GF) products
to capitalize on the growing presence of celiac disease and wheat and
gluten allergies in our culture.

In Canada, as many as 300,000 people suffer from celiac disease, with many more undiagnosed; in the U.S., the disorder has become more common than autism.

With the Canadian Celiac
Association holding its national conference this weekend (May 29-31) in Waterloo,
Ont., we thought it might be a good idea to put up a poll asking
whether you are producing or offering GF products at your business, or
whether you plan to. Be sure to cast your vote!
