We make all of our products in a dedicated Top 9 Free From Facility so that you don’t need to worry about cross contact with the Top 9 allergens. If you have any allergen concern with something that is not on the top 9, please don’t hesitate to reach out, we try to accommodate as many allergies as we can.

We have a strict Supplier Control Policy following all local and federal regulations to ensure we are creating safe food. Before we allow a new ingredient or vendor into the facility we have a thorough review of all their processes, in particular their Allergen Control program. When possible we source ingredients that are in dedicated Top 9 Allergen-free facilities, or at a minimum require proof of appropriate cleanout before allowing the ingredient to be used in our products. Once we produce our products we send samples, at least annually, to a third party testing lab for all potential allergens of concern. We test for gluten in house based on our requirements per ingredient and finished products by the GFCO.
