Laco Crumbs and gluten-free breadcrumbs
 

Glutens are proteins in grains such as wheat, rye and barley

Gluten is the collective name for a number of proteins in grains such as wheat, rye and barley. No less than 80% of the proteins in wheat, for example, are comprised of gluten. People suffering from celiac disease have an intolerance to gluten in coated foods and must follow a gluten-free diet. It is then necessary to search for gluten-free products in the supermarkets and shops and on the Internet that are both safe and appetising. Consequently celiac disease is a complaint which, both literally and figuratively, exacts a high toll.

The market for gluten-free dietary products is growing

The group of Western consumers suffering from an allergy or oversensitivity is increasing. The Nederlandse Coeliakie Vereniging ('Netherlands Celiac Disease Foundation') [link: glutenvrij.nl] alone has more than 10,000 members. Estimates indicate that there are about 160,000 celiac patients in the Netherlands, the majority of whom have not been diagnosed. For this reason the market for gluten-free dietary products is expected to increase further in the coming years, especially since people in the social surroundings of the persons involved often eat the same gluten-free dishes. Laco Crumbs will be pleased to help you create a gluten-free and even allergen-free coating for your products. We have a colourful range of suitable ingredients at your disposal.
