Houston New Member Packet gives list of GF products available at some Kroger’s. To ascertain GF product information call: 713-507-4800 (Houston); or 800-632-6900. Unfortunately, these stores seem to be eliminating some GF products and adding more low-carb products that are not necessarily gluten free. Beware.

WISH BAKERY: is now baking gluten-free white bread, mock-rye bread, cinnamon raisin, bread, various cookies, and the owner is trying some GF cakes. Everything is free from dairy as well because they are certified Kosher. Do call before you go to see when GF breads are available. The address is 5724 Green Ash Drive, off Renwick, south of Hwy. 59; Phone: 713/667-2300. Debra is not making too many loaves of bread, so it’s wise to call ahead, or even “order” what you want in advance! Their website: www.wishbakery.com.
Note: Debra is cutting down on contamination by using a dedicated area, dedicated pans, dedicated machines, and putting plastic over everything GF, but there is still probably wheat in the air because she bakes every day, although she bakes gluten free in early morning. Still, someone extra sensitive to gluten might have a problem.
