Wegmans Gets Fresh

As if we need another reason to love Wegmans, the Mid-Atlantic supermarket chain now has an assortment of fresh gluten-free treats in the Bakery departments of all stores. All of the treats are baked and packaged in a dedicated gluten-free facility to prevent any cross contact with gluten-containing foods or ingredients.

Here’s the lineup:

• Decadently Rich Chocolate Brownies: Loaded with chocolate chunks and topped with a luscious chocolate buttercreme frosting.  They’re packaged in a shrink-wrapped box.
• Chocolate Chip Cookies: Made with semi-sweet chocolate chips, brown sugar, a touch of honey, white rice flour, sweet rice flour and cornstarch. Each cookie is individually wrapped in cellophane.
• Snickerdoodles: Same delicious vanilla flavor as Wegmans Gluten-Free Sugar Cookie baking mix. These are rolled in cinnamon sugar, and each cookie is individually wrapped in cellophane.
• Cupcakes: The four-pack contains two vanilla cupcakes topped with premium vanilla buttercreme frosting and two chocolate cupcakes, frosted with rich chocolate frosting – inspired by and very similar to Wegmans’ Ultimate Cupcakes. The package is shrink-wrapped.

Wegmans has partnered with Get Fresh Bakehouse in Fairfield, New Jersey to supply the products for all of its stores. At Get Fresh Bakehouse, a pastry chef trained at the Culinary Institute of America oversees the production of the gourmet sweets coming from the dedicated gluten-free facility.
