The GFAF Expo was held last weekend, October 13 and 14, at the Meadowlands Expo Center in Secaucus, NJ. I was able to attend courtesy of the organizers, the Gluten Free Media Group.
There was a long list of exhibitors, some were gluten-free, others were gluten and nut free.
I’ve tried the bars from Don’t Go Nuts at Mommycon earlier this year and was happy to see them again. Their brand name is descriptive and memorable.
We ended up buying a bunch of these pumpkin seeds. They’re really delicious. Joule loves the maple flavored one. I love finding new treats at expos.
I’ve discovered that fruit bars are good on the go snacks for Joule. Lighter than pouches, less leathery than the Trader Joe’s fruit bars.
The Petitpot exhibitor was effective in getting us to participate in their social media post giveaway. Points for them for having a vegan-nut free rice pudding for us to try.
What a lot of people don’t realize is that there are many other cuisines that are gluten-free due to those gluten-containing grains not being endemic to that region.
I discovered this peanut sensor, which could be life-changing for some, but since we don’t eat out that much I’ve been doing a good job filtering out what we feed Joule.
I love seeing entrepreneur parents solving the “What do I feed my food-allergy baby” problem themselves! It’s so inspiring, and their cookies are delicious!
Favorite find: Chocolate covered crispy quinoa. I need to figure out how to make this myself because I love it.
