Latest new item that is gluten free

[Yvonne (Vonnie) Mostat, RN]

A kind friend bought me a box of Gluten Free Hard Seltzer called WHITE CLAW.  It is labelled Gluten Free right on the front of the cans, and  it calls itself a spiked sparklng water with a hint of strawberry, and it says Alcohol as one of the gredients. One can is 100 calories for the 12 fluid ounces. 2 grams of carbs., natural flavorings, juice concentrate and the box of eight. The cans are quite slim with pull tabs. 20mg of sodium, the 2 grams are sugar. So it is spiked sparkling water with a hint of.... strawberry, peach, watermelon, etc.  It was kind of my friend but I don't drink any liquor, but it is nice to know that there is not just Barlett and James that is gluten free. It is less expensive than Barlett and James apparently and since it is labelled gluten free on the front and the back of the can you can consider it safe to drink.

If you only knew how fortunate you are to be living in the United States where they label everything from soup to nuts as they say. We in Canada need a Senator Ryan to have someone on our side. Peanut allergies have been listed for a long time, but not gluten allergies which can be significant for many brittle celiacs.  I consider myself half American because we own a Summer home here in the good old U.S.A., and apparently my mother's grandmother was an American. We are where we are staying right now for the fourth of July tonight. We in Canada have just (Finally) got to the point where our government has decided to list all the carbs. and nutritional sections of each food item.  So, may I say, on this celebration of Independence Day, God Bless America. It may not be perfect but it is truly the "Land of the Free". Yes, some screw it up, but pay they do. Unfortuanately others pay for their deficiencies too.
