Why not call this Project Glutenberg?

Seriously though this looks good. Every week I end up searching for either, "Is X gluten free" or "gluten free Y", followed by looking at nutrition labels on google images, hoping a company website actually lists something, or looking at 4 year old forum posts.

Few suggestions: - Can you do away with the load more button? just autoload on scroll. - Also maybe alphabetize the list, I clicked on cereal and it's just random. - The search seems strange, I put in Chex but it seems to match anything with 'Che*' - Also maybe have separate pages. Like, I want to click on cereal and then drill into the cereal products with search. It seems like there is just a master list and search works over that.

Haha, we thought about calling it that!

Your suggestions are great, and I totally agree with them. We just launched 3 weeks ago, so those items haven't been top priority. But they are on my list.

That would be way too cheesy.

Cheese is normally gluten-free.
Sometimes cheesy is also catchy and helps with promotion - perhaps a nice tag-line instead like:

"The largest list of gluten-free foods is hot off the presses" ;)

(and most cheeses are gluten-free)

It's not all that bad :D
