                              GIANT FOOD STORES IN PA AND SURROUNDING AREAS

Between April and May Giant Food Stores will be acquiring a lot of the Genuardi's Food Stores
They are planning a lot of changes for the better for customers with dietary needs
I have heard that they will be labeling throughout the store which items are gluten free so that if you are a new Celiac or just for dietary needs need to be on a gluten free diet it will be easier for yo to know which foods are gluten free and which foods are not gluten  free.

My understanding is that they will still have the gluten free organic aisles but they will also be going through out the rest of the store to let you know if a product is gluten free.  There will be a tag saying that it is gluten free on the shelf

I think this is a fantastic idea particularly if you have a friend or family member that is trying to help you out and goes into the store not really knowing which products you can have  but wants you  to feel comfortable if you are coming to their house.  This way they might not know everything there is to know about Celiac Disease but they will know that a product is gluten free without second guessing.

Thank you
