Is your facility certified gluten free?
Sweet Natalie's is not certified gluten free. However, all of our baked goods are produced in dedicated, gluten free kitchens. Many of the prepackaged items we sell are certified gluten free. Please check the labels of prepackaged items if you have any questions.
Do you offer vegan products?
We offer many vegan, gluten free desserts. You can be assured that our specialty bakers follow strict guidelines to ensure no animal or animal by-products are used in the creation of their delicious, baked goods. Please see our ingredients list on this page for further information.
What is the shelf life of products?
Fresh baked goods are best consumed within 3 days but some of our goodies can last longer. Keeping your items refrigerated after purchase is advised. Airtight containers can prolong shelf life as well. Items from our freezer section can be frozen for two or more months. Check packaging of our shelf stable and frozen items for additional information.
What is your allergen statement?
Our shop is a dedicated, gluten free facility. All products sold here are gluten free and handled only in a dedicated, gluten free environment. We do offer products that are “free of” other common food allergens including: dairy/milk, soy, corn and eggs. However, our store is not dedicated to be free from these allergens. Products are sold and handled in this facility that contain these allergens and cross contamination is possible. Those with serious food allergies must purchase baked items and prepared foods at their own risk. Please see our ingredients list on this page for more information.
