Prison for Selling Gluten Bread

(Raleigh, North Carolina) Bakery owner Paul Evan Seelig was sentenced to nine years in prison yesterday for selling bread labeled as gluten-free.

Seelig reportedly sold the bread at the North Carolina State Fair and the fairgrounds flea market.

Presumably, a stretch for fraudulent bread-labeling will be laughable to the resident convict hierarchy in the big house. That will make his sentence seem like an eternity.

Nine years, however, is not laughable. It's quite harsh, I think, assuming he wasn't intentionally trying to harm some people.
