Gluten-Free Goes Mainstream and is available at Discount Buyers stores

The gluten-free market has exploded into the discount buyers groups stores!  You know something is moving rapidly towards acceptance when you can purchase it at a discount mega store!  I just purchased crackers that say "certified gluten free!" on the box.  My husband, Randy, has brought some of these particular crackers home from work as one of his co-workers didn't take to fondly to them.  They are, in my humble opinion, a take-off or knock off of the brand "Mary's Gone Crackers", which we love.  This brand, however is significantly less expensive.  Not all organic, but substantially less expensive.  Here is the picture of the gluten-free crackers I picked up at the big discount store...

This is Crunchmaster multi-grain crackers and here are the ingredients:  brown rice meal, sesame seeds, potato starch, quinoa seeds, safflower oil, flax seeds, amaranth seeds, tamari soy sauce powder (tamari soy sauce [Soybeans, salt], maltodextrin[corn]), salt.  Allergy alert:  Contains soy!  In a nutshell, these are a more processed version than the "Mary's Gone Crackers" treats we love.  If you would like to contact the company, you may do so at: www.crunchmaster.com or by calling them toll free at 1-888-574-7737.  The box states that they are made in the U.S.A. 

Will you like these gluten-free crackers?  Can you even eat them?  If you can tolerate soy, you can obviously eat them and you may or may not like them.  We'll enjoy them at a price that can't be beat.  As the gluten-free market continues to expand, we'll see more and more products as we have over the last ten years, and increased competition is likely to drive the price down a bit as well.  Let me know if you have tried these, if you like them, and what other gluten-free & dairy-free products you love.  Happy Memorial Day weekend!

Love,
Lisa

It's a jungle with all of our individual food allergies and sensitivities!! I can't tolerate any coconut milk or even coconut in dish soap or personal care products. I had two rashes last year and discovered that I had picked up products that contained coconut milk!! Glad you can drink it because I understand it is wonderful!!

I love the new So Delicious Coconut Milk Beverages! They are dairy-free, soy-free, and gluten-free, and my kids love them, too!

I just discovered and subscribed to your blog after jumping into the food allergy world with our wheat-, nut-, sesame-, egg-, dairy- allergic toddler. I love that gluten free products are becoming more readily available and affordable. I'm spending my savings at whole foods lately! As for these particular crackers, we can't eat them because of the sesame (which we just discovered an allergy to last week).
