BATAVIA, Ill. — ALDI, the nation's low price grocery leader*, continues to demonstrate its ability to provide high quality products at the lowest possible prices with its permanent addition of exclusive gluten-free brand "LiveGfree." The line features 17 items from bread, pasta and pretzels to cookies, brownie mix and granola.
Adding LiveGfree products to its exclusive offerings was a direct response by ALDI to the overwhelmingly positive feedback received from its shopper base. Immediately following the product line's initial debut as a Special Buy, gluten-free fans and supporters from all regions of the U.S. applauded LiveGfree as "affordable" and "great tasting" while expressing their satisfaction with ALDI for making affordable gluten-free items available to them.
"At ALDI, we have always believed in offering high quality food at everyday low prices. We applied this same philosophy when selecting items to include in our new LiveGfree line of gluten-free products," said Chuck Youngstrom, president of ALDI. "ALDI shoppers quickly embraced the great taste and affordable prices of LiveGfree products, with many requesting gluten-free products be made available in ALDI stores year round, which is exactly what we did."
