<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> Hi, I have come across some gluten-free products in Melbourne (Australia) and thought the info could be beneficial to local people. I have no financial interest in this company. The items available are: (as taken from the company leaflet with the header Allergyfree Living, September 1997) Glutenfree Sandwich Loaf $4.00 Glutenfree Tin Vienna $5.00 Glutenfree Yeast Rolls $4.00 Glutenfree Foccacia $4.60 Glutenfree Rice Sodabread $4.50 Glutenfree Madeira Cake $4.40 Glutenfree Swiss Roll $4.90 Glutenfree Fruit Cake $9.50 Glutenfree Christmas Cake $10.00 Glutenfree Christmas Pudding $10.90 --------------------------------------------------------------------- The leaflet's front page states: Allergyfree Living - September 1997 The Allergyfree Range of Wheat Alternative Glutenfree Breads and Cakes New Packaging increases Shelf-life to 3-4 weeks Allergyfree Products has adopted a new packaging for its products to increase shelf-life and freshness. In contrast to wheat grain, the grain alternatives used in our products tend to absorb moisture after baking. Our new packaging process creates a vacuum by withdrawing all air, and replacing it with carbon dioxide and nitrogen without any oxygen. As air is a mixture of oxygen, carbon dioxide and nitrogen, this is a benign process. What Happens when the Product is opened Allergyfree products do not include any preservatives. Hence, depending on the rate of consumption, it is usually preferable to feeze Allergyfree bread products upon opening. Bread which has been frozen can be freshened up by placing in a microwave oven for 5-10 seconds (but no more). Allergyfree cakes do not need to be frozen. Delivery to your door - no more hunting around or making a special trip to the shops To ensure your supply of glutenfree products, you can order direct from Allergyfree by telephone, fax or mail, and pay by credit card or cheque. There is a minimum order of $24, which includes postage and handling.
