Just because it says "GLUTEN-FREE"....

Hello everyone!! It has been a busy few weeks.  I know most everyone's lives are busier than most of us would like, which is why I'm going to share something today that is easy to look past when we are extremely busy.

Last night, I was at a Whole Foods store.  I noticed a meatless alternative labeled "GLUTEN-FREE."  I grabbed it and almost walked away WITHOUT checking the back, but I instantly stopped myself.  In the ingredients section, it was clear that it was gluten-free, however, it then stated, "Made in a facility that processes wheat."  This caused me to put the item back into the freezer section and walk away.  Had I not been in a huge hurry, I would've stopped and said something to the manager.  And yes, I would've been polite.  It's just good for people to know the difference between gluten-free ingredients and actually CERTIFIED gluten-free.

So please remember to CHECK the back of the item when it says "GLUTEN-FREE" on the front.

Have a great GLUTEN-FREE weekend and I'll check back next week!!
