Nut Free Bakery in RI Helps Families Deal with Nut Allergy’s

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) August 25, 2008 -- A& J Bakery is Rhode Islands only Nut Free bakery in the state. A&J Bakery’s facility was new from the beginning when the bakery opened in July of 2007.They purchased all new equipment to make their bakery 100% Nut Free items on so that they would prevent any cross contamination from occurring. Other bakeries in the United States could be nut free but they are still in the same building and using the same pans, oven and ingredient vendors that they baked with before when they served nuts. How is that Nut Free when cross contamination could have occurred?

When asked Why a Nut free bakery? Amy M. Hitzemann owner of A&J Bakery, stated “One of the main reasons we decided to open our bakery and make it nut free is because of our child. We have a family history of allergies and all of the studies have show that your child could be born with the allergy. So then we started thinking about it and decided to open our facility at 1458 Park Avenue, Cranston, RI that is a 100% NUT FREE environment”.

“A nut allergy may not include all types of nuts some people are allergic only to peanuts. There is no known cure for food allergies. The best way to deal with them is to avoid foods that cause reactions. Read labels, and ask questions at restaurants and bakeries.

Some people are allergic only after eating nuts, while others can’t even be around them. That’s why many schools have instituted peanut-free policies. That is why at A&J Bakery we are in a new facility and bought all brand new equipment so that those with a severe case can still eat something from our bakery and not get sick. Some places say they are nut free because they make items without nuts, but remember there are still nuts in that establishment, so really they are not NUT FREE,” states owner Amy M. Hitzemann.

A&J Bakery has verification from all of their vendors that supply them with the raw ingredients that they are made in manufacturing plants where there are no nuts of any kind. So, here at A&J Bakery you can get a safe cake, brownie or cookie for your child who is allergic. Or even to bring to school when there is a nut-free policy.

“One of our newest items is the Egg and Dairy Free cakes, cookies and granola. We understand that many of our customers have not just one allergy but multiple food allergies so we have started to branch out and expand to help fulfill some of our customers needs” states Hitzemann.
