top questions

Q: Are Enjoy Life products wheat-free or gluten-free?
A: Both! Our foods are made without wheat or any other source of gluten (i.e., barley and rye). We have created a dedicated gluten-free facility where we bake all our own goodies. We require all ingredient suppliers to fill out non-contamination certificates, and we perform routine gluten rapid tests for extra assurance.

Q: Are your foods really nut-free?
A: Yes! Our foods are completely free of nuts. The same cannot be said of our staff...you should meet some the characters that work here! No peanuts or tree nuts enter our dedicated production facility. For extra security, we perform peanut rapid tests to ensure the highest levels of safety and quality.

Q: Are your foods dairy-free?
A: You betcha, all of our products are dairy-free, including dairy sugars (lactose) and dairy protein (casein) so people with lactose or casein allergies/intolerances can eat freely! Our chocolate chips are produced for us in a dedicated gluten-free and nut-free facility. These chips are also dairy-free and soy-free, although they are produced in a plant that processes dairy. For this reason we test down to 2.5 parts per million for dairy to ensure the highest levels of safety and quality.

Q: Are your foods lactose-free?
A: Yes, all of our products are lactose-free, meaning that they don't contain any dairy sugars (lactose). By the way, they are also casein-free, meaning that they don't contain any dairy proteins either.

Q: Are your foods casein-free?
A: Yes, all of our products are casein-free. You can rest easy knowing that all our ingredients are additionally tested for casein, so we can be certain that our products are truly free of all dairy sugars. They are also gluten-free, so Enjoy Life foods are suitable for a GFCF diet too.

Q: Are all of your products made in a dedicated nut-free facility?
A: Absolutely! We wouldn't have it any other way!

Q: Are all of your products made in a dedicated gluten-free facility?
A: All of our products, with the exception of Perky's Crunchy Rice and Perky's Crunchy Flax, are made in a dedicated gluten-free facility. Perky's Crunchy Rice and Crunchy Flax cereals are made in a certified gluten-free facility. The facility is certified by the Gluten Free Certification Organization. (www.gfco.org)

Q: Are all of your products made in a dedicated dairy-free facility?
A: All of our products, with the exception of our semi-sweet chocolate chips, are made in a dedicated dairy-free facility. Our semi-sweet chocolate chips are produced in a facility that also processes dairy; however, our chocolate chips are produced on a dedicated dairy-free line. All ingredients are additionally tested to ensure strict allergen control standards are met.

Q: Why did you change the "allergen free" symbol on your packages?
A: We recently changed the allergen free symbol on our package to make it more explicit and to minimize the risk of any potential confusion on the part of our consumers. The old symbol read "allergen free: free of all common allergens", while the new logo reads "allergy friendly: free of the 8 most common allergens." We hope that this change in verbiage will make it even clearer to consumers that our products are free of "the big 8" allergens. Of course, we always direct people to read thoroughly the side panel and ingredient statement to determine for themselves what they can and cannot eat.

Q: Where can I buy your products?
A: So glad you asked! You can go to our store locator area of the site to find natural food stores and grocery stores that carry our products.

Q: Are your products corn free?
A: Enjoy Life products do not claim to be corn-free. Having said that, we want Enjoy Life customers to have as much information as possible regarding our ingredients. The powdered evaporated cane juice in 2 of our Boom Choco Boom bars (Dairy-Free Rice Milk Bar and Dairy-Free Rice Milk with Crispy Rice Bar) contain less than 1% corn starch as a processing aid. This product is labeled 'may contain traces of corn'.

Natural flavors are often derived from corn alcohol. Three of our natural flavors: vanilla, caramel and berry are derived from corn alcohol. Our supplier guarantees all corn protein is removed in the distillation process and considers them to be corn-free. Also, the citric acid in our Very Berry Crunch Granola is derived from corn, again the fermentation process removes the corn protein. We always encourage people to make a choice based on their own comfort level with these ingredients.
