WINDHAM, N.H., March 4, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- HomeFreeĀ®,
"treats you can trust," announces two new product launches, Gluten
Free Lemon Burst Mini Cookies (6/5-oz.) and Gluten Free Chocolate
Chip Mini Cookies Snack Multipack (6/4-1.1 oz.), as the newest
additions to its line of nationally distributed, gluten free,
allergy friendly cookies. These new products are launching at
Natural Products Expo West, March 6-8,
2015, featured at booth #8330.
HomeFree Gluten Free Lemon Burst Mini Cookies are free of the
most common 8 food allergens - peanuts, tree nuts, eggs, dairy,
wheat, soy, fish and shellfish. They also contain no soy, sesame,
or corn. Like all HomeFree products, these cookies additionally are
certified kosher pareve, non-GMO, vegan, and a good source of whole
grain.
HomeFree's new Gluten Free Chocolate Chip Mini Cookies snack
pack helps to fulfill the demand for "free from" convenience snack
options on grocery store shelves. There are many mainstream cookie
multipack options packed in trays with clear wrap, but not special
diet options. Now consumers seeking to include people with special
dietary needs can purchase cookie snack multipacks that do so.
Food Allergy Research & Education (FARE) estimates that
there are approximately two children with food allergies in every
classroom. According to the American Academy of Allergy, Asthma,
& Immunology (AAAA I), peanut is the most prevalent allergen
among food allergic children, and one of the food allergens most
commonly associated with anaphylaxis. Peanut free classrooms are
therefore common. Single serve snacks such as HomeFree cookies
manufactured in peanut free facilities prove to be a convenient
solution for consumers purchasing snacks for peanut free
classrooms.
"Everyone wants to be included at snack time," said Jill Robbins, a clinical psychologist who
founded HomeFree after her son developed multiple food allergies.
"Our new snack pack of our best-selling Gluten Free Chocolate Chip
Mini Cookies will make inclusive shopping and snacking easier. We
are also excited to launch such a flavorful and wonderfully
textured lemon cookie that everyone can enjoy together."
All HomeFree products are made in HomeFree's dedicated facility
free of peanuts, tree nuts, eggs, dairy, wheat and gluten. HomeFree
is a pioneer and leader in the industry with regard to allergy
safety, and is Safe Quality Food (SQF) certified, a certified woman
owned business, and a certified B Corporation for a strong
commitment to social and environmental responsibility.
HomeFree cookies are available for retail in 5 oz. boxes
($4.99 SRP), the new Chocolate Chip
Minis Snack Multipack ($4.99), and
single serve Grab & Go boxes (SRP $1.39), and for food service in single serve bulk
boxes and countertop displays, and loose bulk. Current flavors are
Chocolate Chip (large and mini), Double Chocolate Chip Mini, and
Vanilla Mini, and the new Lemon Burst Mini, offered nationally and
in Canada, and through the
company's website, www.homefreetreats.com.
