GFN Foods previews new Multi Grain Bread Mix product at Natural Products Expo East

Baltimore, MD - A new gluten-free bread is coming. With substantial amounts of fiber and whole grain goodness, not to mention a moist texture that makes an excellent sandwich.

GFN Foods, LLC previewed such a bread at the Natural Products Expo East show here in Baltimore.

"With freshness lasting about three days without preservatives, whole grain ingredients, plenty of fiber and a mild and pleasant taste, we think that this bread offers a lot to the celiac community", said Paul Graven as he worked in the Gluten-Free Naturals trade show booth.

The bread is soft and a little spongy, beige in color and it doesn't need toasting to hold together. "We think it would compare to a multi-grain bread or whole wheat type of bread, with the main difference of this one being safe for those with a gluten intolerance", said Graven.

"With the ability to make the bread in a loaf pan or bread machine, and the possibility of customizing the bread with nuts, raisins or whatever someone enjoys, we think that this product will provide some nice flexibility for people wanting to add more bread to their gluten-free diet," he added. "This is a product that has been under development literally for years. Untold test versions were thrown out. We think this bread represents the effort, and we got fantastic feedback here at the Expo."

GFN Foods plans on releasing mixes to make other kinds of breads for different purposes and palates, but there were no definite announcements at this time.

The company plans on launching the mix in January. Pricing was undetermined at this time.

GFN Foods, LLC Responds to the Proposed Rule by the FDA, Including the Definition of "Gluten-Free"

Cranford, NJ - The FDA recently released a proposed rule that considers the standard and definition of "Gluten-Free" in this document: www.fda.gov/OHRMS/DOCKETS/98fr/05n-0279-npr0001.pdf (requires Adobe Acrobat Reader). While the document outlines some options for gluten-free labeling, the proposed standard of 20 parts per million of gluten or lower will be considered "gluten-free".

GFN Foods welcomes this proposed standard. "It will go a long way in improving the quality of gluten-free products for everyone" said Paul Graven, Vice President of the company. "For our company and products, the proposed standard will not affect our manufacturing process and the strict quality control procedures that we have in place, since we perform a lab test for every batch of product. We have been and will always continue to be well below the 20 parts per million standard."
