Tonight, I present my second post in my two-part series, “Ra-Ra Corporate America!”®

First, it was Kraft and their surprisingly candid and helpful reply to my email. Now comes Peapod, a grocery delivery service found in a dozen or so US markets.

Similar to Amazon Fresh, Peapod offers gluten-free browsing. They call it NutriFilter®. Poor branding aside, it’s a great little tool. This lets Peapod shoppers walk through their “aisles” with gluten-free blinders on, something I wish Whole Foods handed out when I walk through their doors.

I haven’t used Peapod in a couple years, but when I did I was pleased. I’ve been testing search results for about 15 minutes with accurate GF results so far, but soon I’ll give this full test run and let you know how it goes.®

As a private label store, selling more than 80% of its products under the store brand, Trader Joe’s is in a unique position to help its customers find appropriate items for special diets, including vegan, kosher, low-sodium, even 15min quick meals.

According to the grocer:

Our dedication to you as a valued Trader Joe’s customer is to provide you with helpful information to make informed buying decisions because we know that you have specific dietary concerns.

While not what I would call reader-friendly, the list is a long one, which should be exciting for anyone tired of the treasure hunt.
