How is Original Sunshine gluten-free?

Our gluten-free wheat flour is produced using a unique production process that enables us to remove gluten proteins from the wheat, leaving behind only safe and consumable wheat starch with a bready texture. We have spent years refining and perfecting this process to ensure that our product meets our high standards of quality and purity. As a result, you can trust that our gluten-free wheat flour is both reliable and delicious. We pride ourselves on our innovative approach to gluten-free flour production and the exceptional results it delivers. Our commitment to quality ensures that our customers can enjoy the delicious taste and texture of traditional wheat flour without any gluten-related issues.

What if I’m Celiac?

Our products meet (and surpass) the FDA’s suggestions for a diet containing a maximum of 20 parts per million (PPM) of gluten. All Original Sunshine products are produced in our own dedicated gluten-free facilities which ensures there is no risk of cross-contamination. We cannot guarantee the absence of cross-contamination when our products are purchased from our retail partner shops.

*We do not provide medical advice or professional opinions. For any health-related concerns, including celiac disease,
please consult with a healthcare professional.

What does Glyphosate-Free mean?

Glyphosate is a broad-spectrum herbicide that has been widely used globally as a plant protection product (PPP). The herbicide has been suspected to be a key reason why gluten intolerance has increased, as well as a factor in the increase of digestive issues and diseases. Glyphosate has already been banned in some countries and most recently the EU has banned glyphosate due to health concerns.

Non-Gmo?

A GMO is a genetically-modified organism. We don’t use genetically-modified (also known as genetically-engineered) wheat for a number of reasons. A lot of the genetically modified grains are designed to be resistant to herbicides (like glyphosate mentioned above) and pesticides leaving behind these residues on the foods that we are then consuming. Additionally, this type of farming requires high chemical inputs, monocropping and yield lower amounts of crops overtime due to negative impacts on the soil and surrounding ecosystem.

Regenerative Farming?

Regenerative farming seeks to maximize the health and vitality of the soil, crops and entire farming ecosystem. With regenerative farming there is a shift away from large-scale monoculture and heavy use of chemical fertilizers, pesticides and herbicides in order to promote the healing of the farming ecosystem, yielding more nutritionally-dense food, nutrient-dense soil and farmland that can be used over and over again in synergy with the planet.

How is Gluten-Free wheat possible?

We use a proprietary, natural process to deglutenize the wheat, so we are left with a gluten-free wheat starch that is the special ingredient in all of our formulas from our wheat flour to our bagels and everything else we’re working on.

Are there any allergens in Original Sunshine?

Yes, there is wheat in our product.

How is gluten-free wheat starch made?

First, we source high-quality wheat that undergoes a rigorous rinsing process to remove and extract the wheat starch and conduct additional rinsing to eliminate remaining gluten. Our product undergoes strict quality control measures to ensure that it meets our high standards for gluten-free purity. Thanks to our meticulous process, we can offer a professional and safe gluten-free flour that delivers the bready texture and rich, satisfying taste that you expect from traditional wheat flour. We take great care in ensuring that our product is safe and consumable for all our customers.

More about Gluten-Free wheat starch:

Wheat starch is a carbohydrate extracted from wheat grain that does not contain the gluten proteins found in wheat grain or wheat protein. During our innovative production process of wheat starch, the gluten proteins are removed, resulting in a product that is free of gluten. So, while wheat starch is derived from wheat grain, it is not considered to be wheat grain or wheat protein in terms of its composition.

Why do Original Sunshine products need to be kept frozen?

Our gluten-free products are crafted with wholesome, preservative-free ingredients. Freezing ensures that the products stay fresh and maintain their delicious taste and texture until you’re ready to enjoy them.
