Alce Nero Organic Gluten Free Corn & Rice Fusilli, 8.8 oz (250g)

Made to European food rules. In the EU every additive has to be authorised before it can go into food, and there is no route for a manufacturer to approve its own — in the United States there is. Potassium bromate is prohibited in flour here and azodicarbonamide is not authorised at all; both are still permitted in American baking. That is usually why the ingredient list on the back is shorter.

Organic pasta made from corn and rice rather than wheat, from Alce Nero — an Italian organic cooperative that has been farming this way since the 1970s.

Made without wheat. Watch it closely: corn and rice pasta goes from firm to soft faster than wheat pasta, so start tasting a minute early. If you are coeliac rather than avoiding wheat by choice, please call the shop and we will read the pack to you first.

The full ingredient and allergen statement is printed on the pack. If you have an allergy, please call the shop on (707) 527-0319 before ordering.
