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, and the primary ingredient of the popular vegan meat substitute "seitan".
What is Celiac Disease?
Celiac disease is an auto-immune disease that causes an intolerance to 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.
Gluten Free Handling Policy
We bake our Gluten Free cookies in the same bakery, but never on the same day as our other cookies. In addition, we clean the bakery and wash our equipment thoroughly after every production run.

Lab Tested
We lab-test our Gluten Free products periodically at Bia Diagnostics. We have always tested at less than 5 parts per million gluten. The internationally accepted standard is less than 20 parts per million.
