Recent News and Updates...03/24/09

• With the addition of 4 new places to eat in the Lancaster area, our Eating Out section now highlights over 40 different locations which offer choices for a Gluten-Free diet.  The latest additions are: Carr’s, Fiorentino's, Effie Ophelia and Yoder’s.  The eating out section is by far the most popular portion of our web site, if you have additional places to eat, please share them with us.
   
• Flat Flat breads from Spice of Life are now being carried on a trial basis at the Isaac's on Greenfield Road.  If everything goes well at this location, they will be carrying the bread at all of their locations!  Be sure to stop out and have a gluten free sandwich. Isaac's is very aware of food allergies so it's a great place for those of us with gluten intolerance. As always, make sure to talk to the manager so they can take the appropriate precautions to avoid cross contamination and gluten containing ingredients to make sure your sandwich is gluten free.
   
• One of our members recently spotted one of the Bob's Red Mill flours that contain gluten on the gluten free shelf of the Weis store in Mt. Joy and we saw the same thing at the Weis in Elizabethtown.  We've contacted the corporate office of Weis and alerted them to the problem. They assured us that they would take care of the issue immediately because it could be a serious health concern.  So, as always be sure to read labels carefully!*  If someone picked up the wrong bag that looked like their gluten-free counterparts or if one somehow broke open and contaminated other products, someone could certainly have a reaction. We thanked Weis for taking the issue seriously and remedying the situation.
   
• We've written before about the Good Eatz Green Cafe in Wyomissing and how exciting it is to have a restaurant in the area where people with food allergies can eat safely. The Good Eatz Green Cafe was recently featured in an article in the Reading Eagle.  We also recently found out that Good Eatz cookies are now being sold at Citizens Bank Park in Philadelphia. If you're there to see a game, check
  them out!
