At the heart of it all, we believe that living a healthy life leads to happiness. For years, people have been asking us to bake gluten-free bread that’s as delicious as our organic breads. Rudi’s Gluten-Free Bakery is a natural extension of our commitment to baking on the bright side, creating healthy and wholesome breads the whole family can enjoy.

Our passion is baking better bread and we’ve been doing it since 1976. 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.

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.

Plus, they are all-natural – you won’t find any artificial chemicals or preservatives in our breads.
