Partake Foods is introducing a collection of soft-baked cookies that are allergy-friendly and boast 20 to 30% less sugar than similar cookies. The soft-baked cookies share a simple way for people to indulge in better-for-you varieties of classic flavors like Chocolate Chip, Triple Chocolate and Cookie Butter.
As the free-from cookies are made without the Top 8 Allergens, they're suitable for consumers who are looking to avoid everything from eggs, wheat and milk to peanuts and tree nuts. Additionally, the cookies are gluten-free, non-GMO and vegan-friendly, and they are prepared without gums and emulsifiers. Although these cookies have the potential to appeal to certain niches, it's becoming the norm for free-from foods to be created for the masses.
