Gluten Free
What is Gluten?

In the context of celiac disease, the term "gluten" is used to collectively refer to gluten in wheat, and to the proteins in other grains that have been demonstrated to cause harmful health effects in individuals who have celiac disease. These grains are wheat (including different varieties such as spelt and kamut), rye, barley, cross-bred hybrids (e.g., triticale, which is a cross between wheat and rye), and possibly oats.

Do You Carry Gluten-Free Products?

PLEASE NOTE: not all items may be carried in all stores.

An allergic reaction to gluten is referred to as Celiac disease. Celiac disease is a digestive disease that damages the small intestine and interferes with absorption of nutrients from food.

We at D&W Fresh Market understand the importance of providing our customers with education about the gluten-free items carried in our stores. Using our gluten-free list at right, you may build your own gluten-free shopping list to shop our stores. PLEASE NOTE: not all items may be carried in all stores.

While you’re in the store be sure to look for our Nutrition Guide shelf tags that identify foods "at a glance" that are gluten-free. PLEASE NOTE: Nutrition Guide tags only identify gluten-free foods that specifically state "Gluten Free" on the package.

Always double-check the product package to ensure the gluten-free status of the food. If you have a question regarding a product contact the manufacturer directly.
