Is Reynolds Roost Bakery safe for people with celiac disease?

Yes. We operate a dedicated gluten-free kitchen at our home in Anderson, Indiana. No gluten-containing flour is used or stored in the kitchen. All mixers, sheet pans, baking utensils, fryer, and storage containers are gluten-free-only. No items are produced in a shared kitchen — ever.

What allergens are excluded from every item?

Every item we sell is gluten-free, dairy-free, and soy-free as the baseline. Items that are also nut-free or vegan are labeled on each product page.

Which items contain nuts?

Several items contain nuts. The Peanut Butter Dream Bar contains peanuts. The Carrot Cake Jar in its default form contains tree nuts (pecans), with a 'Make it Nut-Free' option at checkout at no extra cost. The Fried Fritter Bites and Fried Donut Bites are made with almond milk, so they contain almond, a tree nut. Separately, several items contain coconut, which the U.S. FDA classifies as a tree nut though the EU does not; coconut items are labeled on each product page. Every other item is nut-free.

Are your items vegan?

Many of our items are vegan and are clearly labeled on the product page. Items that contain eggs are not labeled vegan. We never use dairy or soy in any item.

Do you use fish or shellfish?

We do not currently use fish or shellfish in any item.

How do you prevent cross-contact with nuts on the Carrot Cake Jar?

The Make-it-Nut-Free Carrot Cake Jar is prepared on a separate prep run from the default nut-containing version. Tools and surfaces are cleaned, and the nut-free version is plated and stored in sealed containers separate from the nut-containing batch.

Does the almond milk in the fried items touch other products?

No. The Fried Fritter Bites and Fried Donut Bites are cooked separately, and all equipment is deep-cleaned between batches. Every other item is made without almond milk.

How do I ask a specific ingredient question?

Allergen Info

Q: Are you a third-party-audited allergen facility?

No. We are a small home bakery, not a Class III medical-grade allergen-control facility. We do not have third-party allergen audits. If your medical team has advised you only to consume items prepared in an audited facility, please follow your medical team's guidance.

This page is the most important one. Read it before ordering if you or someone in your household has a serious food allergy.

Gluten-free, dairy-free & soy-free — always.

What "dedicated gluten-free kitchen" means here

Reynolds Roost operates out of a dedicated gluten-free kitchen at our Anderson, Indiana home. No gluten-containing flour is used or stored in the kitchen. Mixers, sheet pans, baking utensils, the fryer, and storage containers are all gluten-free-only. No items are produced in a shared kitchen — ever. We do not bake gluten-containing items at home.

Tiffany built this kitchen because her grandmother has celiac disease. Her grandmother is a regular Reynolds Roost customer — the protocol above is how the kitchen runs every day, for her grandmother's orders and yours.

Standing allergen baseline

Every item we sell is:

Gluten-Free
Dairy-Free
Soy-Free

Items that are also Nut-Free and/or Vegan are labeled on each product page.

A few items contain nuts and are not nut-free:

The Peanut Butter Dream Bar contains peanuts.
The Carrot Cake Jar in its default form contains tree nuts (pecans). At checkout you can select "Make it Nut-Free" for a pecan-free version, at no upcharge.
The Fried Fritter Bites and Fried Donut Bites are made with almond milk, so they contain almond (a tree nut).

If you have a peanut or tree-nut allergy, please skip the items above. Every other item is nut-free, aside from coconut — which we cover separately below.

Eggs and other allergens

Many of our items contain eggs. Vegan items do not — those are clearly labeled.

We do not use major fish or shellfish allergens in any item.

For any specific ingredient question — including the brand and supplier of a particular ingredient — please text Tiffany at 317-864-1872. Every answer comes from Tiffany personally. We're happy to read labels with you on the phone if it helps.

Among our newer products, the Glazed Drop Cookies are gluten-free, dairy-free, soy-free, nut-free, and vegan. Lemon Bar and Scones share that baseline and are vegan; both contain coconut (see below). Hand Pies are gluten-free, dairy-free, soy-free, and nut-free, and they contain egg, so they are not vegan. The S'mores Cookie is gluten-free, dairy-free, soy-free, and nut-free; it contains egg and coconut, so it is not vegan.

Coconut

Several items contain coconut: the Classic Cinnamon Rolls, Lemon Bar, Scones, S'mores Cookie, and the Carrot Cake Jar.

Coconut isn't classified as a tree nut under EU allergen labeling, and we treat coconut-containing items as nut-free on that basis — but the U.S. FDA does classify coconut as a tree nut. Most people with tree-nut allergies tolerate coconut; if you have a coconut-specific allergy, please skip these items. Each product page notes when an item contains coconut.

Cross-contact protocols

All baking surfaces, mixers, and tools are gluten-free-dedicated.
Nut-containing items — the Peanut Butter Dream Bar, the default Carrot Cake Jar, and the almond-milk Fried Fritter Bites and Fried Donut Bites — are each prepared in their own separate run and stored in sealed containers.
The "Make it Nut-Free" Carrot Cake Jar is prepared on a tools-cleaned, surface-cleaned line distinct from the nut-containing run.
The almond-milk Fried Fritter Bites and Fried Donut Bites are cooked separately, and all equipment is deep-cleaned between batches. They still contain almond, so if you have a tree-nut allergy, please skip them and tell Tiffany before ordering.
Equipment and surfaces are deep-cleaned between batches; hand-washing and surface sanitization are standard.

What we cannot guarantee
