A post by the blogger 'A-O' on his blog 'Kuwaiti-Trailmix' gives more information on the above subject & the reasons why Gluten Free products (subsidized) are necessary for certain people. (People who have celiac disease or even the ones allergic to Gluten who cannot take regular Bakery products) CLICK HERE to read the post.

I came across the articles through 'Mark' on his blog '248am'. CLICK HERE for the post. I was originally planning to write about this in sometime, but going through some of the articles and after going through the Gluten Free products, thought why to delay. One of the main things people should know is that these gluten free products are available across certain factory outlets. As mentioned in A.O post & on KFMB pamphlets it is better or easier for people to call up and check whether the products are available. CLICK HERE for the post by Sala6a on the same subject.

Now we come to the point about their products. Mark and A.O. both have also mentioned about the products and its price list. Also KFMB has put info about it in their pamphlets. I wanted to add some more information, like the weight of the products or the number of pieces one gets when purchasing this. Also how long will the products remain on the shelf or in simple terms - when do they expire.

Kuwait Flour Mill & Bakeries company has always been coming up with products which definitely are useful and essential. I believe nearly everyone in Kuwait, around 4 million in population takes in one product of KFMB, be it the European bakery section - with breads or Croissant & other products, Arabic bakery section, Biscuit Factory, Vegetable Oils, Macaroni Factory. If not this way then indirectly through the Mill section or Animal Feed section.
