Where can I find the lists of ingredients and nutrition facts for the box mixes and the individual ingredients?

We offer a detailed list of ingredients and nutrition facts for each box mix and ingredient. You will find a link underneath each product picture, and all you have to do in order to get more information on the respective box or ingredient is click this link. 

Do the pictures on your website resemble your products?

We believe in transparency and want to provide you with the most accurate information we can. That’s why we opted to have a professional food photographer take pictures of each product offered by us and represented on our web site instead of using stylized or stock photography pictures. We want you to know exactly what the gluten free recipe will look like following our directions and not be disappointed by false advertising.

How do you ensure that your product is truly gluten-free?

Your safety is our top priority. That’s why Toosie’s Gluten Free takes various precautions to ensure that our product is truly gluten-free. We 

Do any of your ingredients contain gluten?

No. All our ingredients are naturally gluten-free. In order to ensure that no cross-contamination has occurred we test each batch made using The Gluten ELISA Assay test

Do you have celiac disease or an intolerance to gluten?

Yes I do, Jim my husband does not. It gives us the opportunity to bounce and test new recipes off of each other, getting feedback from a person who does not have to eat gluten free really let’s me know that I have created a wonderful recipe knowing that they enjoy eating it just as much as a normal recipes with gluten.

Do you eat your own products?

Absolutely. We love our gluten-free baked goods and the versatility of using Toosie’s All Purpose Flour for all of our savory cooking as well. 

What makes a products gluten-free?

Gluten is a protein that is found in wheat, barley and rye.  None of our products contain gluten. 

Who needs gluten-free products and why?

People affected by the Celiac disease cannot consume food containing any amount of gluten.  There are also those who have trouble digesting gluten and are considered gluten-intolerant or have a sensitivity to gluten foods.  Individuals with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) may exhibit low tolerance or allergies to certain foods or chemicals. While not a specific cause of autism, these food intolerances or allergies may contribute to behavioral issues. Many parents and professionals have reported significant changes when gluten is eliminated from the child’s diet. 

What is Celiac?

Celiac disease is an autoimmune digestive disease that damages the villi of the small intestine and interferes with absorption of nutrients from food. What does this mean? Essentially the body is attacking itself every time a person with celiac consumes gluten.  It is estimated that three million Americans have celiac disease. 

If I have other allergies can I modify your product?

Yes, if you have dairy issues you can substitute Vegan butters such as Nature’s Balance and Soy or Rice milks and the recipes will turn out fine.  All of the boxed mixes allow you to add the basic ingredients of butter, eggs and liquid so you can modify according to your needs.  Our Bread Mix and Pancake and Waffle mix do already contain dairy in the mixes. None of our mixes contain any nut products.

Do you use White Rice Flour or Modified Starches?

No, although we are still making pastries I tried to do my best to make them as healthy as possible!  Toosie’s uses only Whole Grain Brown Rice Flour which has more nutrient values than White Rice Flour.  We also use Whole Grain Millet Flour in our bread mixes for a higher protein count and general nutrition.  Pure Cane Sugar is also used in all our mixes.  The All Purpose Flour contains no sugars and can be substituted cup per cup in your favorite recipes, if you need to use different sugars according to your diet this would work for you.  I have successfully used Agave syrup in most of my recipes.  Toosie’s will never use a Modified Starch.  I also have issues with Chemical allergies and do not believe these Modified starches are something I wish to consume myself so therefore will not make them subject to my customers.

Do you need to adjust for high altitude?

No, I have created this product so that no adjustment is necessary where ever you live.
