Goya rice flour ingredients are gluten free but may be susceptible to cross contamination. Goya was started in a small storefront in lower Manhattan, New ork, catering to local hispanic families by distributing spanish foods such as olives, olive oil and sardines. Driven by the belief that there was a growing consumer market for high quality, fresh tasting, latino foods, the unanues infused their personal philosophy throughout the company. This commitment to excellence is the cornerstone of goya"s popular credo, "if it"s goya, it has to be good". The result of this simple, yet deeply resonant pledge is the evolution of goya foods into a leader in the latin american food industry, with operations spanning the globe.
