All Homefree products are soy free except that the Chocolate Chip Mini Cookies contain soy lecithin. Most, but not all, people with soy allergies are able to tolerate soy lecithin because the protein has been removed, and allergies are reactions to proteins. However, because traces can remain, we have tested our Chocolate Chip Mini Cookies for soy down to 2 parts per million and the test was negative for soy protein. Despite that, we additionally clean the lines before baking other flavors. If you are allergic to soy, please consult with your allergist to determine what makes sense for you.

The Lemon Burst Mini Cookies and the Holiday Sugar Cookies are corn free. The Vanilla Mini Cookies and Double Chocolate Chip Mini Cookies contain a small amount of corn starch in the baking powder. Corn starch is fine for some people with corn sensitivities and allergies. The Chocolate Chip Mini Cookies’ chocolate chips contain dextrose, which is corn derived. Xanthan gum is in all of our products except for the Lemon Burst Mini Cookies and the Holiday Sugar Cookies. Xanthan gum has a derivation that involves corn, but contains no corn protein. If you have a corn allergy, you likely can enjoy products made with xanthan gum, but please check with your allergist to determine what is best for you.

In order to have the highest possible control over the quality and allergy safety of our cookies, we do not do the common, significantly less expensive practice of contracting with “co-packers,” where someone else bakes and packages the products in a kitchen shared with other products. Rather, we have our own dedicated facility for our products only. In this way, we can design and supervise every aspect of staff, equipment, ingredients, baking and packaging. Then we make our products from high quality, wholesome ingredients including 100% whole grain flours, natural chocolate and cocoa powder, fruit juice, and non-hydrogenated oils. Further, many of our ingredients are certified organic and our oats are specially grown and processed to be gluten free. We source all of our ingredients with great care, always choosing allergen safety over price. Additionally, we conduct our own allergen and gluten testing. All this so you can feel home free with “treats you can trust!”

With Homefree, our children can feel great being included when treats are served, the parents love how wholesome the cookies are, and the kids without allergies love the cookies too.
