Don't eat this, do eat that...can life get more complicated? If you are concerned about deleting the wheat in your diet, then Dietz & Watson can help. Many lesser quality brands of deli contain starchy fillers and extenders which give deli a bad wrap when it comes to eating gluten free. Dietz & Watson is proud to say "You can eat this deli meat" because 99.5% of Dietz & Watson's premium meat delicacies, 100% of Dietz & Watson artisan cheeses and 100% of Dietz & Watson condiments are gluten free. Dietz and Watson does not hide gluten, in the form of fillers or extenders, in their products. |  |
Over 400 items from Dietz & Watson have been listed by the Celiac Sprue Association (CSA) as "CSA-Gluten-Free". Dietz and Watson beef, poultry, ham, pork, lunchmeat and sausage varieties makes eating gluten free a breeze.

Gluten sensitivity usually happens either through a wheat allergy or through Celiac Disease. There is a difference between these two definitions (See Table Below) but the bottom line for both ailments is the avoidance of foods containing wheat, rye or barley proteins.
When I conduct nutrition counseling with patients who have a wheat allergy or Celiac Disease, I look for recipe ideas and foods that do not contain gluten. Foods I advise gluten-free consumers to enjoy are foods that they CAN have . Examples are: fish, eggs, plain poultry, beef, pork, eggs, nuts, legumes, milk, yogurt, cheeses, fruits and vegetables and the following grains: amaranth, buckwheat, corn, potato, rice, flax, millet, quinoa, rice, sorghum and teff. I now also include Dietz & Watson deli varieties, artisan cheeses and condiments (just not Dietz & Watson Scrapple or Bockwurst).
