Gluten-free Snacking

Consumers wishing to avoid gluten now have another snack option, thanks to Carpinteria, Calif.-based Edward & Sons Trading Co., which has been producing natural, organic, vegetarian and gluten-free foods since 1978. The company’s crisp brown-rice crackers, Rice Snax, deliver gluten-free whole grain goodness (26 grams per serving, to be exact), along with zero trans fats, no hydrogenated oils and no cholesterol. Available in Lightly Salted, Onion & Garlic, Bar-B-Que, and Salt & Vinegar varieties, the bite-sized shapes can be enjoyed right from the container or with such toppings as hummus, guacamole or salsa. A 2.8-ounce box offering 2.5 servings retails for a suggested $1.99. Additionally, the bright, colorful boxes can be merchandised vertically or horizontally for maximum flexibility at store level.
