“We are thrilled to be offering retailers and consumers an entire new product line that extends our trusted brand and allows for new and exciting ways for people to enjoy more allergy-friendly foods,” said Joel Warady, Chief Sales and Marketing Officer, Enjoy Life Foods. “As a leading brand in the free-from baking category with our award-wining baking chocolate, we are giving our consumers something that people love - the taste of fresh home-baked goods combined with the time-saving convenience of baking mixes."
The prevalence of food allergies continues to increase according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) with 4 to 6 percent of children and young adults having food allergies; an overall increase of nearly 20 percent between 1997 and 2007. Food allergies have become the most common cause of anaphylaxis, a sudden and severe allergic reaction that can be fatal. There is no cure for food allergies with strict avoidance of the allergen as the only way to prevent a life-threatening reaction.
