Famous Foods is located at 1595 Kingsway in the Kensington-Cedar Cottage neighborhood of Vancouver (see map). known as Vancouver's original natural food store, Famous Foods has a dedicated following of customers who rave about their selection of good quality non-medicated and organic meats (chicken, pork, buffalo, wild boar, local lamb), well priced gourmet and exotic ingredients, organic produce and groceries in general, and the free parking behind the store! what I will rave about is their selection of gluten free foods. Famous Foods does not have a gluten free labeling system like Choices or Whole Foods, but somehow, in this store, I don't mind as many products these days are clearly marked with gluten free labels anyway. here is a list of the gluten free foods I found at Famous Foods today, I may have missed some, since there is so much to look at here, the product variety is astounding!

Robyn and I cannot believe our eyes. this is a remarkable list of trusted and mostly dedicated gluten free food companies! we wouldn't have believed this five years ago when we were diagnosed with Celiac Disease, and we can't imagine what it must have been like ten even twenty years ago? we are certain many of you do know, we'd love to hear how you coped back then, and how it feels today with so many options.
thank you Famous Foods for making gluten free shopping, and shopping in general, so easy and fun! Andrea.
***please note that some of these companies are exclusively gluten free, while others are not. please check with the product websites to verify which products are gluten free.

I work in the hood and hadn't even thought of Famous Foods as a place for gluten-free. Think I'll take a stroll over there next week! You buy bulk foods? I was told not to buy bulk. Makes me crazy, because where else can you find nuts?!!
