Gluten Free Guide

 Gluten refers to a protein found in wheat, oats, barley and rye; including all of the many and various cousins, hybrids, and manufactured offspring. A person can experience a wide range of reactions to the presence of Glutens. This can be anything from digestive discomfort to Celiac Disease. Celiac disease is a genetic disorder, which triggers the production of antibodies that attack the small intestine, which can also slow, or halt the absorption of vital nutrients. It is not an allergy and should be diagnosed by a physician.
    The Good Earth is making this pamphlet available in order to facilitate a clear and easier shopping experience for customers who wish to enjoy a Gluten-free diet or for those who wish to monitor their Gluten intake due to sensitivities. We recommend our sensational seasonally fresh produce section as your first stop.
    The FDA has not and is not required to establish parameters for gluten-free labeling in the US until 2008. It is therefore currently an unregulated claim. The Good Earth is including in this pamphlet those manufactures who list their products as “gluten-free” either on the product labels or on the manufacture’s website.  Glutens are exceedingly transferable, making instances of cross-contamination highly likely. The Good Earth intends to take the best possible care in delivering information to our customers. Please consult your physician around dietary issues. This pamphlet is not intended as a source for dietary recommendations. There are a large number of advocacy organizations providing information about Gluten Intolerance and Celiac Disease; the Internet is a fabulous resource!
    We have attempted to bring in only the highest quality Gluten-free products. In general we try to keep it as organic and sugar free as reasonably possible. If we do not carry a product you would like to see, please fill out a comment card at the register. If you leave us you name and phone number we will call you personally to address your concerns!
