We were the first to announce (and snag our hands on) a box of gluten free Rice Krispies, about this time last year. The one thing I heard repeatedly from readers was that they wish it was available in Canada. And now it is! Kellogg's announced yesterday!

"With an increasing number of Canadians being diagnosed with Celiac Disease, experiencing sensitivity to gluten or choosing to follow a gluten-free diet, consumers are looking for more great tasting gluten-free food choices and we are filling that need," said Johanne Trudeau, Director,  Nutrition, Kellogg Canada. Kellogg's^® Rice Krispies^® Brown Rice gluten-free cereal is produced in a separate facility that has been making gluten-free products for nearly a decade. Each batch of product is tested to ensure its gluten-free status.

This is VERY exciting news for when I go "home" to Montreal!!

Originally designed to help touring bands locate restaurants, shops and even hotels with green products and business practices, InBloom was created and developed by musicians Andy Ross (OK Go) and Eytan Oren (Eytan and the Embassy). It's an awesome app and another great way to find gluten free foods in your town, or better yet, when traveling. Watch the video below to learn more about the app from the creators, Adam and Eytan.

I love Kozy Shack and their gluten free tapioca and rice puddings. There is a constant supply of it in our house. And now, we'll have something new on our grocery store shelves soon! And, boy, does it sound de-lic-ous!!

Kozy Shack is introducing a new Coffeehouse Blends pudding. The gluten-free treat comes in three flavors: caffe latte, cappuccino and caramel macchiato. All three sound amazing.

In addition, Kozy Shack is introducing new SmartGels, which use a natural vegetarian-based (carrageenan) ingredient to create a Kosher, gluten-free alternative to gelatin-based desserts. SmartGel flavors include orange and sugar-free orange, strawberry and sugar-free strawberry, tropical and sugar-free tropical and cherry. The treats will be available in convenient 3.5-oz. grab-and-go cups.

FoodBusinessNews.net (link below) is reporting that Snyder’s of Hanover has introduced two new gluten-free 100-calorie multipacks: Eatsmart Naturals Garden Veggie Crisps and Pretzel Sticks.

The Garden Veggie Crisps are made from potatoes, tomatoes and spinach and are prepared with sunflower oil. The Pretzel Sticks are considered low in fat, with 1.5 grams per serving.

Each multipack bag has eight 100-calorie packs for a suggested retail price of $4.99 per bag.

I will be heading to France & Spain in a few short weeks and am looking forward to all of the naturally gluten free food I will get to eat while abroad... seafood, cheeses, chocolates... and wine! But, I must say, this bit of news kind of makes me want to pay a visit to good 'ole McDonald's while we are in Spain.

Please note: I am not condoning eating McDonald's on a regular basis if you should travel to Spain, or here in the States. For me, this would be a one time taste test should I find myself in a food predicament.

Update: I had the burger & bun in Barcelona. More bun than burger but was a fun experience, nonetheless.

First of all, this girl is too cute!! But all I have to say is, "FINALLY!" Let's hope it works. Have you signed the petition yet?
