Gluten Free
Your health and safety are our priority.
What Does "Gluten Free" Mean?
Gluten is the protein component of wheat, rye, barley, and other grass-related grains. It's what makes pizza dough stretchy, bread chewy, and is the primary ingredient in seitan.
What is Celiac Disease?
Celiac disease is an auto-immune disease that makes it harmful for people to digest gluten. As many as 1 in 150 Americans may have this disease. Other disorders, such as Autism and AD/HD, may also be linked to wheat consumption and to Celiac.
Our Gluten Free Handling Policy
Your health and safety are our top priority. While we are not able to afford two separate facilities, we have a carefully designed plan to eliminate the risk of cross contamination.
We never bake Gluten Free cookies on the same day as our wheat cookies. Ingredients for our gluten free products are stored separately. For example, we have two separate sugar bins, and the gluten free bin has a bright green label on it. We clean our bakery and wash our equipment thoroughly after every single production run.

Lab Tested
We lab-test our Gluten Free products periodically at Bia Diagnostics. The FDA's current standard is less than 20ppm (parts per million) gluten. We have always tested at less than 5ppm, the lowest measurable level.
