Hi All--
I originally wanted information on
organizations/groups/companies that published or
comprised gf food and/or drug guides. I do not intend
for this post to be misconstrued as a marketing tool -
simply a list of resources available that list gf
foods and drugs. Thanks to everyone who responded -
21+ replied with suggestions and comments, as well as
the names and addresses of some of what is available.
Everyone seemed to have their favorite source(s) of
information, but almost everyone made some comment
that there didn't seem to be *one* complete and
authoritative guide; many people bought more than one
guide and combined information. Several people warned
that not all foods/manufacturers are distributed or
located in all regions of the country, so it's
sometimes difficult to find items listed in the
guides, and a number of people warned that some
listings were very much out of date - the gluten
status of foods are sometimes not checked for over a
year.
One person indicated that she was working on an
ingredients listing, which may be of benefit simply
because ingredients are not so dynamic. This person
will post to the listserv when the listing is
finished.
I am in no way affiliated with any of the sources
listed below. Many people asked me to summarize what I
learned. I'm sure there are even more internet sites
and/or guides, books, newsletters, magazines, etc.,
but these are what were sent to me. If I inadvertently
left out a source that someone sent to me, please let
me know and I'll post an addendum. --Ayn/Kansas
