🌾🚫 I have a gluten intolerance. Do you sell gluten-free products?
We take allergies and intolerances very seriously. Unfortunately, we do not offer gluten-free products at this time.
In our production kitchen, we work with wheat flour, and all products are made in the same space. For this reason, the risk of cross-contamination is high, and we cannot safely offer gluten-free options.
Your safety and well-being are extremely important to us, so we want to be fully transparent and help you make an informed decision. 😊
