Gluten-free product lists at your grocery store! Whole Foods, Trader Joe’s, Gelson’s, Sprouts Farmers Market, Ralph’s…

Grocery shopping is so much easier these days with the assistance of gluten-free product lists available at so many stores!

Obvious ‘health-labeled’ stores such as Whole Foods Market, Gelson’s, Sprouts Farmers Market, and Jimbo’s likely aren’t a huge surprise in providing their easy, gluten-free shopping lists.  However, did you know Trader Joe’s, Ralph’s, and Hy-Vee are major participants in this gluten-free assistance as well?  Why, yes they are!

Look for the gluten-free signage on product packaging for easiest shopping

Happily gluten-free,
