Why gluten-free and nut-free?

---

If you have ever had to decline a lunch invitation or skip the office potluck or tell your first grader he can't play at a friend's home or isolate your middle child's snacks to prevent an allergy related episode, I get it.

I don't just have one food allergy, though. I have a list: gluten, wheat, rye, barley, corn, corn derivatives (corn starch, corn syrup, high fructose corn syrup), peanut, tree nuts, coconut, rice or soy. This means, if I can't see the ingredient list, I have to offer an automatic but polite, "No, thank you."

You can now have your cake (pancakes, waffles, brownie, pizza) and eat it too. So, whether you're gluten-free by force (allergies or sensitivities) or choice (to feel better), you can actually enjoy the taste and appreciate the ingredients. 

I guess I should mention, in three short years, Lily Maude's®  has won two sofi Awards: New Product Baked Goods-Bakery Desserts (bundtlet) and Breakfast (pancake mix); and named a sofi Gold Finalist Frozen & Prepared Foods (ice cream). These awards are extra sweet because there are no gluten-free categories! Products are judged on taste, texture and appearance.

Get yours now, it really is okay.
