1. Reduce the list of ingredients to its strict minimum
2. Eliminate risky additives
3. Replace denatured ingredients with natural ingredients
4. Clarify the list of ingredients to make it more readable for the consumer.

Why is there so much packaging ?
Unfortunately, allergies and zero waste don't mix. After all, we deal with people's lives and take this very seriously.
The plastic film is also made from PET and is therefore recyclable. This film provides a superior level of protection against damage at the store level, thus reducing food waste.
Did you know that our state-of-the-art processes allow us to recover any waste that occurs during production? And yes, we pride ourselves on having less than 0.5% waste in our production lines.

How to conserve your products ?
→ For products purchased in grocery stores and supermarkets:
Please read the instructions on the label. Consume them within 24 hours of purchase, otherwise store them in your freezer until the expiration date on the label.
→ For products purchased online and collected or delivered to your home:
Creams and spreads : upon receipt, open the box. Then store for 2 days at room temperature or place the product for 10 days in the refrigerator or store in the freezer for up to 6 months before using.
Snacks and cakes: Consume the day of receipt or place in the freezer for up to 6 months before using.
On the day of use, if frozen, defrost on the counter at room temperature (20-24 C) before consuming. For the best experience, we recommend that the center of the cakes reach room temperature, which can take up to 5 hours during the winter season.
Baking mixes and dry ingredients: Store in a cool, dark, dry place for 1 year at room temperature or see expiration date on label.

Why not store the products in the refrigerator ?
Since we do not use traditional baking ingredients such as wheat, eggs, butter, milk and cream, we can safely say that our products have been cleverly developed by pushing the boundaries of food chemistry.
In order not to compromise on taste and texture, it is important to follow a few rules to fully enjoy our products.
1. Never store them in the refrigerator (except for cakepops, squares, creamings and spreads). Indeed, the refrigerator makes our products dry more quickly and they will be more crumbly.
2. Eat them at room temperature, making sure that the center is also at room temperature.
3. Eat the cakes and cupcakes within 24 hours. As we do not use any preservatives, they will become dry very quickly. Their shelf life will be extended by 24 hours if you store them in an airtight container.
4. Freeze them if there are any left over, our products contain no animal ingredients and are manufactured in a facility with the highest quality control processes, so they can be safely refrozen if necessary.

How long should I defrost the products ?
- 1 to 2 hours for snacks, brownies, cookies, squares, cakepops and mini cupcakes.
- 2 to 3 hours for an individual cake, cupcakes and other individually wrapped products.
- 5 to 6 hours for larger products such as round cakes.

I have an event during the weekend, will your products still be fresh?
Absolutely! Our gluten-free products are of impeccable freshness. To ensure this freshness, we use 100% natural ingredients, without any preservatives. What makes them unique is that we freeze all our products as soon as they are prepared, which keeps them at the peak of flavor and quality.
To ensure everything is perfect on the day of your event, we simply recommend thawing the products on the same day, approximately 3 to 4 hours before indulging. You'll find that they will be just as delicious as if they had just come out of the oven!
What does "safe at school" mean ?
In some Canadian schools, products with traces of nuts are banned from the school premises, in order to avoid any accidents with children who are allergic to them. Don't worry about our products which don't contain any of the 10 priority allergens, so no nuts or peanuts to name a few.
Are the ingredients GMO-free ?
Yes, our products do not contain any GMO ingredients, we work with the best natural ingredients.
Is the packaging recyclable ?
Yes. They are all recyclable!
Are the products vegan ?
Yes. They are 100% vegan!
Are your products fresh ?
Of course they are!
On the other hand, a product that remains in contact with air (even in a container) continues to deteriorate.
This means that a cake that has been sitting in a refrigerated display case for 2 days is old compared to a cake that is frozen.
Freezing is also one of the best treatments to reduce food waste!
