Lay's Chips - Gluten-Free Giveaway!

Everyone knows Lay's chips and everyone loves them.  This is a theory I have.

You will be happy to hear that many of Lay's chips have now been certified as gluten-free through the Canadian Celiac Association's new Gluten Free Certification Program.

I want to point out that there is no flavour difference to the Lay's products you grew up enjoying.  These products that have been certified have either always used naturally gluten-free ingredients or have been reformulated to be gluten-free without sacrificing the taste!

This is a direct quote from the Lay's team:

Our individual manufacturing facilities are recognized under the Gluten-Free Certification Program as consistently being able to manage a gluten-free environment and achieve the regulatory requirements to claim gluten-free. The Gluten-Free Certification Program recognition of facilities demonstrates that these facilities have applied due diligence through their gluten-free management system and that conformity was verified by a competent, independent audit.

The current list of products that have been certified as gluten-free include:

LAY’S® Cheddar & Sour Cream Simulated Flavour Potato Chips
LAY’S® Classic Potato Chips
LAY’S® Dill Pickle Simulated Flavour Potato Chips

Since I am such a generous person, I have decided to donate the gift basket that I was supposed to receive as a prize for one of you in this giveaway!
