Paul Seelig Found Guilty of Selling Fake Gluten-Free Bread Gets 11 Years

And he deserves all 11 years. Now that chef needs to be prosecuted, too.

I totally agree with Hallie. It's difficult enough to stay gluten free, without being deliberately sabotaged by some low life, that has no regards for his fellow man.

Even Betty Crocker has gluten-free mixes now, which is to say the issue is really mainstream and this case should have been aired on mainstream TV. Given the life threatening event I experienced due to my unknown sensitivity and reaction to gluten I say put that idiot away for at least 50 years!

Now, if some restaurant's that claim to have gluten free and don't follow rules for cross-contamination should also be held accountable. We are so glad that this one person will have a long to think about he did!

Well Tasty Bite Brand foods is doing the same thing! Their Barley Medley is marked gluten free on the package! Fortunately, I knew better than to purchase that one but now I'm wondering if they even know what gluten is and I've been using their other foods for years.

11 years is an insane punishment for committing food fraud - even if it harmed the consumers. I would say that 3-4 years were a more appropriate sentence, and confiscation of his profit, and barring him from being in the food business again. Anyway, I am European, so obviously American penal law is another planet. The positive point is that authorities and the judge took our health condition serious, unlike ever so many family members who threaten to do the same to us as Paul Seeling has done ...

I think 11 years is perfect for the weasel. Unfortunately he will likely do less time due to overcrowding and good behavior.

He glutened 23 people, he's serving just under 6 months for each count. He's lucky he didn't get more than that for sabotaging the health of so many.  Think about it: When we get glutened, it takes AT LEAST 6 months for our bodies to fully recover. Yes, we feel better in just a matter of days to weeks. But the internal damage has been done and will remain as such for 6+ months. 

I think his sentence is fair. Plus, as mentioned above, he's NOT going to serve the whole thing! We're lucky if he serves 2 whole years!
