<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> Dear Group, I had a similar experience to Jane Oswaks of London. Last week while traveling in New York City, at a health food store called 'Grassroots' in Soho, I was directed to a variety of 'Wheat-free' bake goods. The problem: they were made with either spelt flour, oat flour, or rice and corn flour sweetened with Barley malt syrup. Eeek! These were both baked on-site and off-site brands from private 'health-food' bakeries. None of the staff were aware that these products were not GF. They only focused on 'Wheat-free', which after looking through several stores in New York - seemed to come across as a new health trend, as opposed to a health need. This was a real shock to me - to be in a 'health food' store where no one was aware of what GF really is. They also had a whole host of shakes, none of which were dairy-free, and I'm also lactose intollerant. What a reality check! And a reminder that we need to always ask what is in something - and not to assume that others understand exactly what GF is. - Debra Madison, WI
