Whole Foods, TJs, Safeway RE: Re: Nob Hill celiac food section

[Guest guest]

Both Whole Foods and Trader Joe's have lists of all of their GF items, and they are extensive lists. The new WF in Los Altos/Mt Vw at the PA border has an entire freezer cabinet of GF items, and the smaller one in Palo Alto also has the freezer items in back -- you can ask for them (pizza crusts, pie crusts, etc.). My husband got these lists -- I believe he got the WF ones in the stores (might be on-line too), and the TJs one on-line. Safeway also has lists of all of their GF foods, again I think they're on-line.

Happy shopping!
