Con artist poisons celiacs
It all began at the North Carolina State Fair last October. News spread quickly: there was a gluten-free bread vendor, Great Specialty Products, with a table at the fair. His name was Paul Seelig, and he baked his loaves one small batch at a time in his Amish kitchen with all fresh ingredients delivered from his family farm in Ohio. His table was full of samples that were met with rave reviews by celiacs and non-celiacs alike. The bread was so good. It tasted just like real bread. It was crusty and soft and chewy, just like a good loaf of bread should be.

Turns out it was real wheat bread. Wheat bread that he knowingly bought wholesale from another vendor and repackaged as gluten-free.

The company the guy was buying from has noticed and is not happy. They're in the comments of the article. I hope the FDA can do something as well.
