Recent research on the number of people in the United States suffering from Celiac Disease shows that approximately 1 out of 100 people has the disease. Researchers also believe that more than two million people in the U.S are living with Celiac and are unaware of it. According to the Wm. K. Warren Medical Research Center for Celiac Disease Research in San Diego, “celiac disease is twice as common as Crohn’s Disease, ulcerative colitis, and cystic fibrosis combined.”
Celiac Disease not only causes painful digestive problems but it also creates a very strict diet regimen with limited food options. Coleman Natural Foods offers gluten free fully cooked breaded whole muscle chicken breast tenderloins that also have the attributes of our entire antibiotic free/all natural product line. That’s not all; Coleman also offers the same gluten free item in a chunk enabling a diversified product mix. Placing these products in foodservice venues is a key initiative of Coleman. For people suffering with Celiac Disease fried chicken was never an option……until now.
