FAQ

DO YOU FOLLOW THE GLUTEN-FREE OATS PURITY PROTOCOL?

Safety is a top concern for us at Canyon Bakehouse. Our co-founder Christi Skow was diagnosed with Celiac Disease in 2007, so ensuring we are baking with gluten-free ingredients is very personal for us. We always want to be sure that we are bringing safe ingredients into our dedicated gluten-free bakery. When we first decided to make a gluten-free honey oat bread, one of our biggest concerns was ensuring that our oats were completely safe from cross-contamination. So, we researched suppliers extensively and opted to buy our oats from the company that created the gluten-free oat purity protocol. They do not process or work with any gluten containing ingredients and follow strict guidelines to ensure that they are clean throughout their entire supply chain from seed stock to farmers and equipment, facility, handling and inspections. They govern their process very seriously and are third-party certified and inspected by Celiac Sprue Association (CSA) and Gluten Intolerance Group (GIG). We want you to know that we are truly dedicated gluten-free, so no gluten ingredients ever enter our building. We have a zero gluten standard at Canyon Bakehouse.

WHAT’S THE DEAL WITH THE NEW STAY-FRESH PACKAGING? HOW LONG DOES IT STAY FRESH?

Our stay-fresh packaging is a new air-tight package that keeps our loaves fresh (when secure in their sealed package) for up to 90 days after they are packed at our bakery. Once you open the package, we recommend using the bread over the next five days.

WHAT’S THE BENEFIT OF THE STAY-FRESH PACKAGING?

The stay-fresh packaging is convenient because you can buy loaves and keep them in your pantry for longer periods of time. No need to fill up your freezer if you want extra loaves on hand. You’ll have a fresh, soft loaf when you need it! The new packaging is also great for travel as you can pop a sealed loaf into your bag and open and enjoy when you reach your destination. You won’t have to fret about finding a store on vacation that carries Canyon Bakehouse, because you can take our loaves with you!

HOW DOES THIS NEW STAY-FRESH PACKAGING WORK? ARE THERE PRESERVATIVES?

In order to offer baked goods that last longer on shelf, we worked a little magic by combining new high-tech air-tight packaging with slight variations in our recipes. Our bakers created slight adjustments in the recipes that work really well with our new packaging, while leaving our classic recipes untouched for those who want to buy their current favorites. We continue to use wholesome, natural ingredients that you would use in your own kitchen. And, like all Canyon Bakehouse baked goods, you won’t find any preservatives or artificial flavors, colors or sweeteners.

Whether you buy the breads fresh from the bread aisle or the freezer, Canyon Bakehouse products can be stored at room temperature (i.e. on your counter) for 7-10 days. If you don’t plan to eat the breads right away, you can store them in your freezer for up to 3 months. Storing in the refrigerator helps to slow mold growth, but will cause the product to dry out and become stale quicker.
