Hello Reader, Welcome back, gluten-free friends! I’ve got a fun one for you today — new deals, new recipes, exciting food label news, and some seriously good snacks you’ll want to stock up on. Let’s get into it! Big GF Labeling News from the FDAThis week, the FDA issued a Request for Information (RFI) about gluten ingredient disclosure and preventing gluten cross-contact in packaged foods. In plain English? They’re asking the public — including our community — to speak up about labeling issues related to barley, rye, and oats that may be cross-contaminated with wheat. Personally, I would love to see food companies clearly list barley, rye, and sources of oats on labels so we don’t have to guess what is actually safe. Transparency matters. The Department of Health and Human Services said they are “demanding radical transparency in packaged food ingredients that affect health conditions and diet-related allergies,” adding that “Americans deserve clear, reliable information about what’s in their food and how it’s made.” Right now, the FDA is collecting real-world experiences — including adverse reactions and labeling concerns — to help guide future policy decisions. You can make your voice heard by submitting a comment here. Obsessed with BFreeI included BFree Soft Original Wraps in my January Love Me Gluten Free box — and let me just say — these are powerhouse tortillas. They don’t tear (even when overstuffed), they taste amazing, and they’re big — which is basically unheard of in GF! It’s been such a joy introducing you to BFree. I swear they keep improving their recipes because every batch keeps getting better and better. Find them at Target, King Soopers, and Fred Meyer, or use the store locator at bfreefoods.com. And go watch me make this beautiful, folded, high-protein wrap on Instagram. New Series: Back of the Box Recipes🍴You know those recipes on the back of packages that we all secretly wonder if they're really good? I’m officially putting them to the test. First up: Jovial’s Orzo Fried Rice - the recipe is found on the back of the box. I was fully prepared for a sticky mess… but WOW. It turned out flavorful, satisfying, and totally weeknight-worthy. Add chicken, and you’ve got yourself a legit dinner. Watch me make it HERE. Want to try it? Use code LOVEMEJOVIAL for 20% off any gluten-free pasta at jovialfoods.com.

A 100% Dedicated GF Grocery Store?!?This week on Gluten-Free Unwrapped, I sit down with Celeste Bremer, the founder of May’s Gluten-Free Market — a 100% dedicated gluten-free grocery store and community hub in Rhode Island. Celeste shares how celiac disease shaped her family’s journey and sparked the idea to create a safe, welcoming space where gluten-free shoppers could finally browse without fear or frustration. She also opens up about the realities of launching and scaling a niche grocery business, from supply chain challenges to figuring out how to juggle being a grocery store and cafe in one. This is another can't-miss episode - a chance to learn about a small business doing great things for our community.

Hello Reader, Many of you have told me how much my weekly newsletter means to you, and truly, that feedback never gets old. That said… a few of you have gently (and not-so-gently 😉) mentioned that my Friday emails can be a bit long. Fair. I do tend to have a lot to say. This week, I’m trying two shorter newsletters you can quickly scan and enjoy. Let’s see how it goes. Feedback is always welcome! Exciting Changes at LMGF As many of you know, I also founded Love Me Gluten Free, a subscription...
