People asking for Gluten-free and Soy-free products?
Do you have a lot of people asking for gluten-free and/or soy-free food products? Do you have them? It seems like more and more people want this!

Watkins does offer a variety of gluten free products. Is there something in particular you are looking for?

No, GOFoods has a line of Gluten-free and Soy-free (and whey-free too!). I was curious because I'm not on a special diet, but it seems like more and more people are looking for this. Wondering what you've found best to market these type of products?

I haven't actually promoted the gluten free products because folks just ask me. As you mentioned, people seeking out gluten free products is on the rise and it's just become standard for them asking.

Velata Chocolates are Gluten-free and I agree that it seems to be a current phase with increased demand. I know there are some people with Celiac's and gluten-intolerance who have been greatly helped by eliminating gluten in their diet - so I do understand the bonafide benefits to it. However I also think in some cases it's a passing fad for some. Gluten is in A LOT of products and is hidden in a number foods you wouldn't imagine.
Either way, I'm happy we have a superior product to offer to those who avoid gluten.

Yes and it makes me happy to see it. Finding premade foods that a Celiac can eat is always a great thing. Many people have Celiac disease or have other gluten sensitivities. Others may be trying to live a healthier lifestyle without gluten or soy.

Gluten is a protein composite found in foods processed from wheat and related grains such as barley and rye. It is desirable in bread making because it gives elasticity to dough, helping it to rise, keep its shape etc.
Some people are gluten intolerant and some are outright allergic. It is not a "new" thing but some people are just mildly affected so you don't realize that the symptoms, such as bloating are from gluten, until you remove it from your diet. Like sugar, gluten is in a surprising number of foods so you really have to read labels. I hope this helped. In answer to the original question, I do get a lot of questions about soy and many people choose our shakes because they are whey and not soy based. I don't get a lot of questions about gluten although many of our products are gluten free.
