Sadly it appears to remove Gluten from your diet you have to replace it with junk food. Every single item in this deal is junk food. If you have a health complaint and have no option but to remove Gluten why eat a load of cr*p like this? Why not take it as an opportunity to revise your diet and eat as healthily as you can. Remove Gluten and replace it with obesity, diabetes and other metabolic disorders, sounds like a plan :/
Also for people on the Gluten free fad wagon, have a look at >
No one person in this world is entirely correct on diet as there's so much stuff we simply don't understand. Maybe some people will find value in those links.
Lastly some people want to eat junk food and that's their choice, so I'm not telling anyone what to do, just giving my take on healthy living.

Appreciate this deal isn't filled with the healthiest items but your comment about removing gluten means you have to replace it with junk food like this is wrong, no one is saying you have to eat these as gf replacements, some of these are 'treats' (for want of a better phrase) which I'm pretty sure gf or not you don't sit around stuffing your face with all day every day. If you did it wouldn't matter if they're gf or not, or are you saying people who are gf free shouldn't have treat type foods? Your general comment about junk food could be leveled at anyone, gf or not. I think we're all hopefully smart enough to look into what we're eating, a treat once in a while doesn't hurt.

all of this rubbish about whether a GF diet is faddish or not is missing the point.
It's great that Aldi are providing these products to those of us who, whilst not NEEDING them, like to have a sandwich or cake now and again. I hope they choose to restock regularly at my local.
What's even better is that they're doing it for roughly half the price of the other supermarkets.
Please keep your condescending know-it-all comments related to how good the DEAL is - rather than spouting homespun nutritional advice to people who know their conditions much better than you ever will.

I have colitis and the only thing that makes the condition bearable is a low fodmap diet, not a fad and scientificly proven to reduce flares.
Low fodmap has a lot of crossover with gluten free. I appreciate that people with celiac cannot have gluten at all whereas low fodmap is avoiding certain foods of which many contain gluten, but I don't appreciate being labeled as someone on a fad diet.
I wouldn't wish colitis, crohns or ibs on anyone and until low fodmap gains greater awareness then we'll have to settle for gluten free and promotions like this one are always welcome

Just a pity Genius bread is more holes than bread in their sliced bread. Good prices though

To cut gluten from your diet, they have removed the bread.
Genius!

Just reading their latest flyer with this mentioned in it.
I eat gluten free and it's nice to see new products to try out and add to what I can eat.
Sadly though Genius bread is hit or miss!
Hopefully my nearest store will have some stock.

Haven't studies shown that between 80 to 90% of people that think they're gluten intolerant aren't actually sensitive to it... So it's mostly just a trendy diet

they have also done a study showing 99% of people who post on forums about subjects they know nothing about also suffer from inferior genital formation :wink:
