From the Editor
It's been far too long since we last published a newsletter. Some may
even be saying "Newsletter? You have a newsletter?" The easiest excuse
is that we've been really busy, but since that hasn't changed in the
12 years I've been here I guess I'll have to stop using that one.

We've Finally Gotten Rid Of All The Nuts!

For a while our staff was quite worried when we said all the nuts
would have to go...

We are pleased to announce that as of June 15, 2009, we are going
entirely nut free in both of our facilities. This is one of the
biggest product policy changes since we made most of our products
dairy free. We've been peanut free for several years now but this move
will eliminate all tree nuts from our product line as well. On the
down side, this will force the discontinuation of our lemon cranberry
almond and double chocolate almond cookies but will open up our
complete product line to thousands (millions?) of people with nut
allergies. We will also be announcing a couple of new cookie varieties
to replace the 2 we are discontinuing. More on that in a future
edition.

For those of you with severe nut allergies please keep in mind that
there will still be products in the market that were produced prior to
us going nut free. Look for products with the following Best Before
dates or later:

* Soft Baked Goods (breads, buns, bagels, donuts, etc) -
12/15/2009
* Cookies, Mixes and Ingredients - 06/15/2010
