I have created a monster...I think...

So I was in Trader Joes, about two weeks ago. And I mentioned to the manager that Trader Joes really needs to do something to showcase some of the gluten-free items they have hidden away, like the brown rice tortillas, which are with the regular tortillas, and I only found by accident. They have a lot of gluten-free stuff in the freezer section, also hidden. I did state that those two sections were what they really needed to focus on, even if they just made a little label that 'popped' that had the gluten-free G on it.

I walked (hobbled, actually, which is a whole other story), into Trader Joes on Friday, to be greeted by gluten-free signs in the canned foods and snack sections. Little blue and yellow signs, popping up all over.

Very nice, but still none in the frozen/refrigerated section. At least as of then.

But it still is nice to see.

Now if they;d just stop discontinuing my favorite gluten-free things..... And maybe making a few more things gluten-free. It is so frustrating to read through the ingredients and find that it has a speck of something that isn't safe (usually the soy sauce). So many things there are almost safe, but not quite...why not go the extra mile and make them safe?
