1ST FODMAP FRIENDLY CERTIFIED LAIKI CRACKERS DEBUT AT EXPO WEST
First brand in Crackers category in US & Canada to be certified
Anaheim, CA –Laiki Crackers is excited to announce their debut at Expo West, and that they have received FODMAP-FRIENDLY certification, becoming the first cracker brand in US and Canada to achieve this certification. FODMAPs (Fermentable, Oligosaccharides, Disaccharides, Monosaccharides and Polyols) are a collection of sugars and short-chains of carbohydrates found in a variety of foods. In certain people FODMAPs can be poorly absorbed in the body resulting in digestive discomfort, excess gas, bloating and IBS type symptoms. The Low FODMAP diet limits foods that contain these types of molecules and is currently recognised by doctors and dietitians as the most effective treatment for the 1 in 7 Americans who experience these symptoms
Commenting on the certification, Pradeep Akkunoor, Founder, Laiki Crackers, said: “With the certification, consumers can rest assured that Laiki remains the top choice for a delicious worry-free snack cracker, and works well with whatever dietary restrictions you may have. The simple ingredients and minimal processing is our secret to achieving this certification.” Laiki Black and Red Rice Crackers with Sea Salt flavor received this certification.
Joanna Baker, Accredited Practising Dietitian and Accredited Nutritionist at FODMAP Friendly, said: “With 1 in 3 people experiencing bloating on a daily basis, FODMAP friendly certified snacks like Laiki Crackers will go a long way in helping thousands of consumers with IBS issues”
In the US, co-author of NY Times bestselling book ‘21-Day Tummy’ Kate Scarlata was one of the first and foremost FODMAP expert to recommend Laiki Crackers to her customers.
