Gluten-free foods are taking off in popularity, but while it's getting easier to avoid gluten in your diet, it's still difficult to avoid it in your portfolio. Most gluten-free brands on grocery store shelves are either privately owned or owned by a larger parent company.
This means that the easiest way to get exposure to this specialty market is to invest in grocery stores and large food manufacturers that offer gluten-free food, like Krogers, Whole Foods (owned by Amazon) and Kraft. You can also get more exposure to the market with international stocks, though you'll need an account with a broker that offers access, like Interactive Brokers.
The top specialty foods stocks included on this page all trade on the S&P 500, have an analyst recommendation of "Buy" or better and are sorted by year-to-date performance.
