Gluten Free I Phone Applications

There are some I Phone Applications worth having available, but many still have inaccurate information (for example: Bob's Red Mill Buckwheat Hot Cereal is listed as gluten-free despite the change in the factory this Spring and despite a selection of both gluten-free and non-gluten free batches being available at different markets).

Gluten Scan - moderate pricing, some accurate information and some not accurate information, but better than any other data base that I've seen so far. I recommend that you start here and then contact companies directly for further information. Ingredient dictionary is similar to the one found at: csaceliacs.org

Gluten Freeda - feeds in data from other sites, some interesting ideas for gluten free options, but more of a brainstorm project than a final draft. Reviews are often not updated and sometimes appear and sometimes don't. I'm not sure why.

Is That Gluten Free - My favorite application so far, because of how items are categorically listed and because dates are listed for when the product was last updated. Additionally, information on how to contact company's that manufacture gluten free products is extremely helpful. It is however difficult to find products available throughout the United States by independent companies, because many of the products reviewed are store brands. I personally always worry when asking a representative company how the company they are representing manufactures their products. I much prefer to talk directly to the source. For this reason, I recommend you double check your resources.
