Many autistic children have food allergies or special dietary requirements that help to balance the effects of autism spectrum disorders. Trying to find foods that are tasty and also fit into the various dietary restrictions that some autistic kids need can be a real challenge for parents.

Whole Foods Markets makes the task of finding foods easier by providing comprehensive lists of the products on their shelves that fit into the requirements of many special diets such as:

  • Dairy Free
  • Gluten Free
  • Gluten and Casein Free
  • Low Fat
  • Low Sodium
  • Soy Foods
  • Sugar Conscious
  • Wheat Free

The lists are available for each store in the Philadelphia region:
