Baking? Need Gluten-free Flour?

My order was received in 5 days!

gfjules.com

If you’re like me during this quarantine you’ve been baking, thinking about baking, looking for recipes for baking, loving the smell of your kitchen with something in the oven BAKING!

According to all my non gf friends and family it’s been hard this past month to access flour for baking. I don’t go to many stores, mostly I’ve been using my local store’s staff to do my shopping and then picking up curbside. So when I was in a store this week I was shocked to see that not only were the shelves of traditional flours empty but also all the g-f flours were gone.

Yesterday I was looking for a specific recipe on-line and what popped up was a recipe made specifically with gfjules flour. I remember early in my CD diagnosis that this flour was easily accessible in Cleveland. Later after so many flours came to the market this flour just disappeared from our area so I was super happy to see it still available. And I was super surprised to see it was also in stock!!

My order is placed and if you need flour check it out. There is an option for ordering a sample to try it too! How wonderful is that?

May Meeting Update

In these unusual times a physical get-together is not an option. So let’s try to connect through Zoom using your computer, tablet or cell phone.

How’s everyone coping? Difficulty finding gluten free food? Great new recipes? Take-out options?

We’ll “meet” on Monday, May 4 at 7pm.

RSVP and we’ll send you a link to join.

If you have questions or need help before then contact a mentor.

New GFCO Mark

Gluten Intolerance Group has announced the rebranding of the Gluten-Free Certification Organization (GFCO) mark to support global expansion.

GFCO companies will have until 2022 to completely adopt the new mark on packaging.

With the increased demand for label transparency globally, this new mark is meant to add even greater value to brands that are certified by GFCO. The design of the rebranded GFCO mark includes several identifiable features including:

  • The words “Certified Gluten Free” leave no question as to what the new mark represents.
  • The GFCO mark meets both the USDA requirements as well as international trademark registration requirements.
  • The inclusion of the gfco.com website on the mark not only clearly identifies GFCO as the owner of the mark, it also directs consumers to the GFCO website where they can search for certified gluten-free products.
  • Bi-lingual French-English and Spanish-English GFCO marks will be available in the coming months.
