and stay fresh longer.

We take abundant precaution to prevent cross contact of allergenic ingredients between
batches and, our bakeries are inspected to ensure that they meet or exceed all
regulatory and baking industry standards. We understand that highly sensitive consumers
need to know when there is even the remotest possibility of inadvertent cross contact
of allergenic ingredients during processing. To that end we disclose that the following
allergenic ingredients are used in some of our manufacturing facilities and that
inadvertent cross contact is remotely possible: milk, eggs, soy, almonds, walnuts, peanuts
and hazelnuts (filberts). Wheat is used in all of our facilities and all of our products
as an ingredient. Please refer to ingredient labels on our products for full disclosure
of the ingredients used in that product.
