First for Convenience Stores in Japan! Two New Gluten-Free Pasta Products Featuring the GFLA Recommended Logo Launch at Natural Lawson
On Tuesday, October 13, 2026, Natural Lawson launched two gluten-free pasta products featuring the Recommended Logo of the Gluten-Free Life Association (GFLA), a general incorporated association in Japan.
These are the first pasta products featuring the GFLA Recommended Logo to be launched by a convenience store chain in Japan.
Both products use ZENB Noodles, made from 100% yellow peas, and contain no wheat in either the noodles or the sauces. They also meet GFLA’s own standard of no more than 10 ppm of gluten. (*1) (*2)

Making Gluten-Free Choices More Accessible
As health consciousness continues to grow, interest in gluten-free food is also increasing. However, challenges remain, including the limited availability and relatively high prices of gluten-free menu options when dining out.
The availability of gluten-free pasta at a convenient, everyday destination like a convenience store is an important step toward expanding food choices as interest in gluten-free options continues to grow.
