Garbanzo testing gluten-free pita

November 13, 2013

Garbanzo Mediterranean Grill is testing MyBread gluten-free, pre-baked pita in its Aurora, Lone Tree and Glendale, Colo., locations now through April 2014. If the test determines MyBread pita is a viable option for the restaurant concept, additional or all Garbanzo locations will begin carrying the gluten-free product, according to a company press release.

Founded by a diagnosed celiac, MyBread is a 100-percent, gluten- and nut-free wholesale bakery located in Chicago. MyBread's pita is certified by The Gluten-free Certification Organization, which represents the strictest standards in third-party certification.

"Many of our menu items are naturally gluten-free, and over the years our guests have come to know us as a gluten-free-friendly restaurant," said Alon Mor, Garbanzo founder, president and CEO. "Considering our pitas are one of our signature items, we wanted to offer guests a gluten-free alternative. MyBread, founded and operated by someone who personally faces dietary restrictions due to celiac disease, is a good option for customers trying to avoid gluten."
