The items are all organic and many of them are also Fair Trade Certified™. In addition, Simply Organic offers many other products, such as spices and extracts that, while not certified, are naturally gluten-free.</span></em></ul></div></div><p>Gluten-free products are in high demand due to a growing awareness of gluten sensitivity (also known as gluten intolerance), which affects more than 15% of the population. It's believed that about 1 in 133 people have the medically recognized advanced form of the sensitivity, celiac disease, though only 1 in 4700 are ever diagnosed. </p><p>Gluten-sensitivity symptoms range from mild and barely noticeable to severe and include gas, bloating, abdominal pain, and diarrhea, as well as other non-digestive symptoms such as headache, joint pain, depression, anxiety, and fatigue. These symptoms arise as a result of an immune system reaction to two proteins found in wheat — gliadin and glutenin — and similar proteins found in barley, spelt, rye and triticale. </p><p>Simply Organic’s 59 gluten-free products meet the gluten-free standard implemented by the Food Allergen Labeling and Consumer Production Act (FALCPA) as well as the high product standards of the brand.</p><p>&quot;We offer gluten-free products that not only deliver maximum flavor but are organic and, whenever possible, made with Fair Trade ingredients,&quot; says Kory Kazimour, Simply Organic Brand Manager. &quot;We want to provide as many options as possible for people with gluten intolerance, including those who share our values about organics and social responsibility.&quot; </p><p>As with all Simply Organic products, one percent of the sales of gluten-free items is given back to support organic agriculture through research, education and grower development.</p><p>Here's the list of gluten-free products currently offered by Simply Organic:</p><p>Alfredo Sauce <br />Banana Bread Mix <br />Black Bean Seasoning Mix <br />Brown Gravy Mix <br />Carrot Cake Mix <br />Chai Spice Scone Mix <br />Chipotle Black Bean Dip <br />Citrus 'n Herb <br />Classic Caesar Dressing <br />Cocoa Brownie Mix <br />Cocoa Cayenne Cupcake Mix <br />Creamy Dill Dip <br />Devil's Food Cake Mix <br />Dirty Rice Seasoning Mix <br />Enchilada Sauce <br />Fajita Seasoning <br />Fish Taco <br />French Onion Dip <br />Fruit Dip <br />Garden Vegetable Spaghetti Sauce <br />Garlic Vinaigrette Dressing <br />Golden Vanilla Cake Mix <br />Guacamole Dip <br />Gumbo Base Seasoning Mix <br />Hollandaise Sauce Mix <br />Italian Dressing <br />Italian Herb Spaghetti Sauce <br />Jambalaya Seasoning Mix <br />Mild Chili Seasoning Mix <br />Mole Sauce <br />Mulling Spice <br />Mushroom Sauce Mix <br />Orange Ginger <br />Orange Ginger Vinaigrette <br />Pancake &amp; Waffle Mix <br />Pineapple Cilantro Vinaigrette <br />Pizza Crust Mix <br />Ranch Dip <br />Ranch Dressing <br />Red Bean Seasoning Mix <br />Roasted Chicken Gravy Seasoning Mix <br />Roasted Garlic Spaghetti Sauce <br />Roasted Turkey Gravy Seasoning Mix <br />Salsa Mix <br />Salsa Verde Seasoning Mix <br />Seafood Seasoning <br />Sloppy Joe Seasoning Mix <br />Southwest Taco <br />Spice Cookie Mix <br />Spicy Chili Seasoning Mix <br />Spicy Steak Seasoning <br />Spicy Taco <br />Spinach Dip <br />Steak Seasoning <br />Sweet Basil Pesto <br />Tomato Basil Spaghetti Sauce <br />Vegetable Seasoning <br />Vegetarian Brown Gravy <br />Vegetarian Chili Seasoning Mix </p><p>Products are available online at <a href="http://www.simplyorganic.com/">http://www.simplyorganic.com</a> </p></div>
