I support 1 in 133 and you should too!
To quote 1in133.org, “In 2007, the Food Allergen Labeling and Consumer Protection Act (FALCPA) tasked the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to finalize standards for gluten-free labeling.

On a recent outing, I wanted to pick up some Udi’s bagels, but was no where near Whole Foods.

Jumping on the Udi’s Bandwagon!
Store bought gluten free bread is nasty. End of story. I had pretty much given up on buying a loaf of gluten free bread when I stumbled upon reviews for Udi’s Bakery.
