Brands we use
·
Kraft will not hide gluten on the label – so if
it does not say wheat, rye, barley or oats it should be GF. This includes all
the brands they own – Full list here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Kraft_brands

either, and a lot of their products are labeled GF. This includes all the

cutting your cold cuts, or call up and ask them to cut them first on the
equipment to avoid cross-contamination.
·
Bionaturae pasta or PastaMia pasta is our
favorite ($$$ but worth it!)
·
Bread goods – try Rudi’s or Udi’s. Usually sold
in GF sections/in freezer aisles. Our Price Chopper carries both. Rudi’s makes
really good cinnamon raisin bread. Udi’s also makes hot dog buns and hamburger
buns.

Convenience foods – Starfish GF battered cod,
haddock, shrimp, etc. is really good and is sold at Price Chopper. Bell &
Evans, Tyson and Perdue make GF chicken nuggets and chicken tenders (Bell &
Evans at Uncle Sam’s in Latham or Nisky co-op; Tyson at Glenville Wal-mart;
still looking for Perdue)
