Whole Foods Cutting Down On Gluten Free Bread

Hi all!

So this is my first time on the gluten free forum even though I was diagnosed back in July 2007. I come on the website all of the time to read advice about restaurants, products, etc.

The reason I decided to join is because I want to share some news with everyone. Whole Foods has decided to cut down on their gluten-free bread supply by 1/3. I don't know how many of you enjoy Whole Foods gluten-free breads, but I am in love with their honey oat bread. It's possibly the best bread I've ever had, including bread with gluten. I am definitely going to write or call the Whole Foods headquarters and give them some feedback on how bad their decision is. Anyway, what would everyone think of possibly starting a petition? I know that 7$ bread at my local grocery store is better than paying for 9$ bread plus 30$ shipping and handling. :(

p.s. I just moved to Boston and have read some of the tips on the gluten-free bakeries and restaurants that I haven't tried yet. I will definitely be checking them out soon.

p.p.s. I am in love with Elephant Walk. That place is heaven.

Kristin

Contacting them is probably a good way to go. Opinions may vary but I would think that someone taking the time to contact a company would have more weight than someone who was willing to sign a petition based on the relative level of effort.

Where did you hear that they were cutting back? It would helpful if we could cite a source when we contact them.

If they're cutting back it's no doubt based on economics. While estimates say there might be as many as 2 million in the U.S. with celiac, only a very small percentage is diagnosed. And many of us who ARE diagnosed simply don't eat bread any more.

I would think individual messages would be more effective. And add your appreciation that they make gluten-free products at all.

Please tell us who to contact and I will gladly write a letter. We have a new Whole Foods coming to Charlotte, NC and I would hate to have to bypass the yummy bread section!

      I know it's after the holidays, but it would still be fun to do a cookie recipe exchange on this forum.

      No red meat

      I did talk to the nurse and she asked who told me no red meat. I explained the person who called with the results of my blood work. That was last week. She told me the doctor was on vacation and would be back this week and she would talk to him and have someone call me this week. I have not received a call yet. I will call them back Monday as a reminder...

      I shop a fair bit with Azure Standard.

      gluten free cookie recipes

      By Florence Lillian · Posted

      Peanut Butter cookies - on the crisp side.   approx 20 smallish cookies  1 C  plus 2 tblsp rounded. 'natural' peanut butter ( the kind you have to stir to blend the PB & oils)....  I know, it's a pain!! 1/2 c granulated sugar ....plus 2 tblsp dark brown sugar 1/4 c olive oil... plus 1 tblsp 1 large egg .....and 1 tsp vanilla 2 tsp cinnamon - optional but is yummy with the PB mix the above.  In another bowl mix the following dry ingredients: 1 cup brown rice flour  ( I use this  flour as it leaves no yucky after taste in my cookies & lb cakes..... and coffee cake, I buy it at the "Bulk Barn" here in Canada....... states side try health food stores??? I'm not sure where you can buy bulk food that also carries gluten free flours. 1/2 tsp baking soda.....1/4 tsp salt   (I use the pink sea salt) Mix well or sift, then mix with wet ingredients. heat oven to 350f, line baking sheet with parchment paper. Roll about 2 tblsp dough between your hands, place on cookie sheet and press down  with a fork.   The flatter the cookie the crispier it is.     Bake 13-14 min  When done leave on baking sheet till cool. Cheers, Florence

I buy some foods on your list from Rani. I've been happy with their products. https://ranibrand.com/ Azure and Rani often use terms that skirt around explicit "gluten free". I've contacted both of them and gained some comfort but it's always hard to be certain. FWIW, my IgA antibody levels are very low now, (after including their foods in my diet) so it appears I am being successful at avoiding gluten.
