Organic
Product Overview
What does the term ‘organic’ mean?
Organic is the term used to describe products that contain ingredients that are grown and processed without the use of synthetic fertilizers, fungicides or pesticides. Organic farming also prohibits the use of genetically modified organisms (GMOs), pesticides, chemicals, irradiation or artificial preservatives.
Ingredients & Nutrition
Do Rudi’s breads carry the USDA seal for organic products?
Yes, Rudi’s Organic breads carry the USDA Certified Organic seal because all of our breads contain between 95% and 100% organic ingredients. Additionally, Rudi’s bakery and breads are carefully monitored and certified by Quality Assurance International, an independent organic foods certification company.
Are your new organic products non-GMO?
Yes, consistent with our long tradition of baking better breads on the bright side, all of the ingredients in our organic breads are non-GMO.
Do any of Rudi’s Organic breads contain peanuts, peanut oil or tree nuts of any kind?
The only Rudi’s Bakery products with peanuts are the Peanut Butter Sandos. The Peanut Butter Sandos are made in a different manufacturing facility from all other Rudi’s products.
Do Rudi’s Organic breads contain eggs or dairy?
All of Rudi’s Organic Breads are egg-free* and dairy-free**.
*Please note Rudi’s Gluten-Free Breakfast Sandwiches and Brioche Buns do contain egg.
**Please note Rudi’s Texas Toast and Breakfast Sandwiches contain dairy.
I found a hole in my loaf of bread – why are there sometimes holes in the bread?
Rudi’s Organic breads are made in small batches rather than mass-produced like some of our conventional competitors. Our baking processes create delicious, nutritious breads but not all the loaves look the same. Yeast can form bubbles of gas, creating an air pocket. This old dough process is what gives our products their distinct flavor.
Is the organic high oleic sunflower oil used in Rudi’s products refined or cold pressed? Why?
High oleic sunflower oil is free of trans fats and high in monounsaturated fatty acids. Monounsaturated fatty acids help lower LDL or “bad” cholesterol, thus reducing the risk for heart disease.
Rudi’s Organic Bakery uses cold pressed high oleic sunflower oil because less nutrients are lost in the cold pressed extraction of the oil. Cold pressed organic high oleic sunflower oil also adds a wonderful flavor to our products.
Is Rudi’s Spokin verified?
Yes, as of September 2024, Rudi’s Bakery is one of Spokin’s Verified Brands.
Are Rudi’s breads kosher?
Yes, Rudi’s bread and the bakery itself are certified Kosher Orthodox Union kosher certification.
Please note Rudi’s Texas Toast is not kosher certified.

Why is the shelf life of Rudi’s breads shorter than most non-organic breads?
Unlike its conventional counterparts, Rudi’s breads, buns and tortillas are made without any artificial ingredients or preservatives. It’s these preservatives that increase the shelf life of a product. Rudi’s products are made with the highest-quality ingredients, for optimal freshness and taste from the supermarket to your home.
Gluten Free
Health & Wellness
What is celiac disease?
Celiac is an autoimmune disease that damages the small intestines and interferes with the absorption of nutrients from food. It is triggered by consumption of the protein called gluten, which is found in wheat, rye and barley. One in 133 Americans has celiac disease, not to mention the countless others who are suffering from less severe forms of gluten intolerances and sensitivities.
What partnerships do you have in the celiac community?
We used our extensive baking experience to create gluten-free bread that tastes and feels like the real thing. Plus, Rudi’s worked extensively with gluten-free experts to make sure we’re making products that are safe and do not contain gluten. All of our breads are certified gluten-free and carry the recognizable Gluten Free Certification Organization (GFCO) GF Symbol.
Ingredients & Nutrition
Are Rudi’s Gluten Free products organic?
Our gluten-free breads do not wear the organic crown, but they’re made with entirely natural ingredients and absolutely no artificial chemicals or preservatives. Just really good bread, no funny business.
Are your gluten free breads non-GMO?
Yes, consistent with our long tradition of baking better breads on the bright side, all of the ingredients in our Gluten Free Breads are non-GMO.
Please note our Gluten-Free Texas Toast and Breakfast Sandwiches are not non-GMO.
Are Rudi’s Gluten Free breads kosher?
Our gluten-free breads, GF Daily Power Protein bread, and Brioche Buns are certified kosher by the Orthodox Union (OU).
Please note our Gluten-Free Tortillas & Gluten-Free Texas Toast are not kosher certified.
Is your facility dedicated gluten-free?
We have a dedicated gluten free bread line, but not a dedicated gluten free facility. The dedicated gluten free equipment; mixers, divider, pans, ovens, slicer and more, allow us to meet growing retailer demands for our products, as well as ensure the highest level of consumer safety.
Here are the additional actions we take upon ourselves to ensure the unmatched safety of our products:
- Our organic and gluten free equipment and utensils are color-coded and segregated for easy and accurate identification.
- Incoming ingredients are tested and certified to be gluten free, per the GFCO risk assessment, and all gluten containing ingredients are physically separated in the warehouse.
- As part of our gluten free certification, every production of our gluten free bread is tested and must test below <10 ppm of gluten for distribution.
- We also send product to an outside lab quarterly to validate our test results and verify that the bread contains less than 5 ppm of gluten.
What does GFCO mean on your packaging?
Rudi’s Gluten-Free breads are certified gluten-free and carry the recognizable Gluten Free Certification Organization (GFCO) GF Symbol. This certification means we have worked with gluten-free experts to make sure we’re making products that are safe and do not contain gluten.

What is The Sando?
Remember the PB&Js packed in your lunchbox? The Sando brings that same soft, sweet nostalgia – just a little more grown up. Crustless, portable, and ready when you are.
Made with Peanut Butter and Fruit Spread, it’s kept frozen for freshness and has gluten free available too. Just thaw and enjoy.
Why aren’t the edges fully sealed, or why is fruit spread seeping through?
Our Sandos are handmade using real artisan bread and organic ingredients. That means sometimes they look… human.
We recently began making our peanut-free Sandos in our Boulder, CO bakery, and we’re continuously improving. Because they’re crafted by hand, some edges may not be perfectly sealed and fruit spread may occasionally peek through.
They may not be flawless every time – but they will always be delicious. We appreciate your patience as we keep getting better.
