Price comparison of gluten-free food products shows that a special diet is expensive for people suffering from coeliac disease.
The Finnish Consumer Agency, the Regional State Administrative Agencies and the State Department of Åland have compared the prices of gluten-free products in different parts of Finland. For the comparison, the prices of 120 gluten-free food products from 95 grocery shops in 18 areas were collected in August 2011.
