Barilla to introduce a gluten free pasta line

Following in the footsteps of Ronzoni, Barilla is in the process of introducing a line of gluten free pastas.
These pastas will include:
  • Spaghetti
  • Penne
  • Rotini
  • Elbows
The gluten free pasta is being produced in a gluten free facility in Italy. The pastas will be made with a combination of non-GMO rice and corn. The pasta will be sold in 12 ounce boxes. The price of the pasta is expected to be $2.39. The price isn't bad, considering what we already spend on satisfactory pastas.

Look for Barilla's gluten free pasta line to hit supermarket shelves, in early 2014. Some stores may see the pastas sooner, however. There is word that consumers could see the gluten free pastas, at select stores, as early as next month. The pastas will be available, nationally, in 2014.

I don't know about you, but, I'm excited for this. Before I was diagnosed with Celiac disease, I was a huge fan of Barilla pasta. Aside from homemade pasta, it was the best pasta that I have ever had. The fact that Barilla is noticing the need for a gluten free line has made super excited.

I know some of you like to read my reviews of various gluten free foods. If I see the product in my area next month, I will be sure to test the product out for you all.
