Gluten Free Introduction
According to the National Foundation for Celiac Awareness, approximately one out of every 133 Americans has celiac disease, but 97 percent remain undiagnosed. This means of the almost three million Americans that have celiac disease, only about 100,000 know they have it.
As more people learn, understand and are diagnosed with Celiac disease, food manufacturers will be looking for ways to meet these dietary needs since this condition is only treated through following a gluten free diet.
As part of its commitment to food health and nutrition, Hormel Foods is proud to provide celiac disease information to help consumers navigate through the often confusing food landscape. On this site, you’ll find basic terminology, tools and resources to get you started on becoming and staying gluten free.
