I have spent the last two years reading labels to determine if a product contains gluten or not. Although I am sure about the many items I use repeatedly, when I encounter a new product, it takes a lot of effort to comb through the ingredient label to decipher whether it is okay. Often, I have to look up information online to determine whether it is, in fact, gluten free. So it is with great enthusiasm that I recommend Zeer select to anyone who finds themselves wondering whether a particular item is gluten free.
ZEER select is a service that enables consumers to quickly and easily assess the gluten free status of 30,000 items in the supermarket. Not only does it tell you if an item is safe (“labeled as gluten free” or “appears to be gluten free,”) It also recommends safe gluten free products for any item that isn’t gluten free. ZEER uses an icon system to let you quickly identify which products are gluten free or not. Products are assessed a category and an icon is assigned depending on which category it falls into. The service costs $4.95 a month with 30 days free so you can try it out. Check out the ZEER Blog for more information on gluten free items.

Shalini - This link will save all the time in the world I spend on searching for not just gluten free food products but "good" gluten free products.
I trust you have done a great deal of good service to a lot of people struggling with special diets. I thank you for it.
Gina - Thank you for your quick reply to my question and the data you have collected and posted for all Moms in need!
Tia Smith - This would be great as I try to be gluten light, but don't need to be so this service would be great for myself and for the children I work with! Thanks for all the help!
Our Family Is His - Well you had to know I would sign up to win this one.
Lisa - I just found out my four year old is gluten sensitive so the whole family is going gluten/casein free. I spent 2 hours in the grocery store today checking labels. This would save me so much time.
