Wasa's new gluten-free crispbread will be offered in two varieties:

The company behind popular Australian yogurt
Noosa has added new gluten-free flavors to its range. The two new Mates varieties are

Blueberry Walnut Granola, combining blueberry yogurt with gluten-free Purely Elizabeth ancient-grain granola and a sprinkle of currants and walnuts. The Classic line adds
Blackberry and
Raspberry Lemonade.
Contessa's Love Food Naturally line of frozen meals includes seven gluten-free varieties: Mandarin Orange Chicken, Sesame Chicken, Chicken Tikka Masala, Shrimp Fried Rice, Chicken Fried Rice, Roast Pork Stir Fry and Mushroom & Asparagus Risotto.
Last time out I mentioned Annie's new gluten-free Cinnabunnies cereal. The company has another new gluten-free product out now:

Cocoa varieties.
District Taco, which originated as a food truck in the Washington, D.C. area, recently opened its first Pennsylvania location at the
King of Prussia Town Center (100 Main St. - Suite 130, 484-808-2870). A Center City Philadelphia location
will be coming later this year on Market Street East. All
menu items except for the flour tortillas are gluten free. You can read fellow blogger Amanda's
review of District Tacos over at
The Gluten & Dairy-Free Review Blog.
Joining District Taco at the KOP Town Center in March will be
Vitality Bowls, specializing in
açaí and pitaya bowls. Gluten-free granola is available and there is gluten-free bread for panini (made on a separate press).
Though the fryer used for French fries is not gluten free, Jose Garces' popular Rittenhouse Square burger restaurant,
Village Whiskey (118 S. 20th St., 215-665-1088), now has gluten-free buns.
Center Square Tavern in Swedesboro (120 Centre Square Rd.) is targeting an opening date by the end of January. Chef-owner Jim Malaby, who also runs
blueplate in Mullica Hill, will have many gluten-free options on the menu; he has a child with celiac disease.

Amanda let me know that
The General in Lafayette Hill (646 Germantown Pike, 610-234-6189) has a
gluten-free menu that includes grilled wings, sushi, salads and a variety of entrees. Note that the French fries are not prepared in a dedicated fryer but gluten-free orders are handled separately.
Have a great weekend!
