Yesterday, May 5, was the International Celiac Day. It is a very important date if we take into account that in Spain live half a million people with gluten intolerance. That is why we think it is such excellent news that a bag has come onto the market with which to avoid cross-contamination. But… can a bag really help you eat gluten free? Find out how it works.
New safe way to eat gluten free
Is called Celi&Pharma and it is already available in a thousand Spanish pharmacies. This revolutionary product is distributed COFARES and comes in a pack of three bags anti cross contamination for toasters, sandwiches and oven. The materials that compose them are both PTFE (teflon) y fiberglass. Therefore, they are resistant and lack toxic substances like the infamous BPA and PFOA. In addition, one of its attractions lies in the fact that They are reused up to 50 times.
You can also wash them without any problem while they retain their non-stick properties. And as if that were not enough, they have the support of the (Federation of Celiac Associations of Spain FACE):
«Celi&Pharma comes to solve a headache for many people with celiac disease, such as the dreaded cross-contamination. The fear of being able to accidentally consume gluten is present in the day-to-day life of the celiac group, so this product will not only help to guarantee the food safety of this group but will also increase the peace of mind in many families when following a correct gluten-free diet and above all, when they are out of home".
But how does it work?
Victor Oliva, CEO of Celi&Pharma, ensures that the product that is placed in the bag is fully protected by the remains of the allergen. These can be in a sandwiches, oven or a toaster. However, the material allows the food to be made without receiving any type of trace from the place where it has been prepared.

While it is true that eating gluten-free is easier today than it was fifteen years ago, it still causes headaches. It is a autoimmune disease It is affecting between 1 and 2% of the population of Spain and that there is no treatment. It is only necessary to stop consuming foods with gluten, which affects the patient's social life. That is why it is necessary for companies like Celi&Pharma to invest in improving the lives of those affected.
Thanks to inventions like his, it is easier for people with celiac disease to simply go to eat at the houses of friends or relatives. It can even be a great ally in travel. Therefore, it is seen how raising awareness and investing can improve people's lives. Oliva indicates that it is necessary to avoid small traces "Because over time they can lead to very important health problems."
