Nature's Path Gorilla Munch available for schools

[ElainetheRD]

Nature's Path Organic Cereals now have a new foodservice division and are making one ounce Gorilla Munch Gluten Free snack bags. Would post a picture, but don't know how.

We are able to distribute to schools and foodservice nationwide. Are trying to get the USDA to approve the Gorilla Munch snack bags for the school nutrition program for availability to all students. We are organic, but because we do not enrich and are not whole grain, do not qualify. Have submitted a proposal to qualify as an exception to get the ball rolling on getting gluten free options available in schools. Have asked for the exception to stay in effect for one year after the FDA has the definition of "gluten free" finalized.

Let me know if you think this is a worthwhile effort. You can write the Director at:

Stanley Garnett
USDA FNS CND
3101 Park Center Dr. Rm 640
Alexandria, VA 22302

Let me know if you would prefer to email or call. I think it would help if they heard from parents.

Thanks for your attention,
Elaine
