Rising Sun Farms Supports Celiac Awareness Month

Rising Sun Farms supports Celiac Awareness Month with a history of 100% Gluten Free Products

This May is Celiac Awareness Month, an important time to recognize the debilitating disease which affects 1 in 133 Americans. Celiac, or gluten intolerance, is an autoimmune disorder caused by eating gluten, a protein found in certain grains, such as wheat, barley, oats, rye, spelt and in many food additives. To date, a 100 percent gluten-free diet is the only existing treatment.

As recognition and diagnoses of celiac disease increase, food companies are trying to provide more gluten free foods in the general marketplace. Even mainstream food manufacturers are getting into the game with separate lines dedicated to gluten free foods.

Since its inception in 1985, Rising Sun Farms has always produced 100 percent gluten-free foods. A dedication to gluten-free ingredients aligns with the company’s philosophy of providing delicious food made with exceptional, healthy ingredients that anyone can pronounce. Their products are 100 percent free of chemical additives, including those with hidden gluten, like MSG or ‘natural flavorings’. Perhaps unusual among classic gluten free options, Rising Sun Farms products are flavorful standouts, with over 50 international awards for product excellence.

As those with celiac know, meal preparation and safe snack choices can be a challenge for gluten restricted individuals. Rising Sun Farms products are ideal for creating quick, elegant meals and providing nutritious snacks on the go. Their Cheese Tortas and Pesto Sauces can be spread over chicken, meat, fish, or gluten-free pasta for a no fuss, no worry meal for the entire family. Cheese Tortettes and Salad Energizers are perfect for grab n’ go snacking. Their new line of Dressings & Marinades, along with the Salad Energizers allow for quick, tasty salads with no need for label reading and lost time hunting down safe alternatives at the grocery store.

With 500,000 new diagnoses of celiac disease expected to occur in the next five years, options in the marketplace are becoming increasingly more critical. Rising Sun Farms pledges to continue its mission to provide delicious and wholesome foods with an awareness and appreciation for gluten restricted diets.
