like salt, fruit juice, dry rice and beans, you name it. It's getting to the hilarious point.

I'm one of that 2% of adults with a gluten allergy, I break out and wheeze when I go on a cheat for birthday cake or fried chicken, so I do get the GF baked goods, but really, people, I saw a can of 100% crushed tomatoes labeled "gluten free." Clearly this is nuts.
