Short answer: GF shoppers in the U.S. often pay significantly more for basics like bread, pasta, and cereals. Here’s what recent research shows:
A UMass Amherst analysis of U.S. bakery products found gluten-free items were up to 87% more expensive than conventional ones.
A Columbia University market-basket study reported GF products averaged 183% higher prices than wheat-based counterparts across multiple retail channels.
Beyond Celiac summarizes U.S. findings: GF cereals, pasta, and snacks can be up to 139% more expensive than gluten versions.
New U.S. work also notes many packaged GF products cost more and can skew lower in protein/higher in sugars - another reason to focus on real-food methods.
Bottom line: you’re paying a premium at the store - and not always for better bread.
The fix: bake smarter, not pricier
