Everywhere, USA, December 2009 – Holiday cookies play just as big of a part in the festive season as delicious desserts or presents for friends, family and colleagues – unless you are one of the 12 million people sidelined from indulging by food allergies. According to a recent study conducted by the National Center for Health Statistics, since 1997 the number of children with food allergies has increased by 18 percent. At the present time, four percent of children in the United States suffer from food allergies. Now, those ease their suffering and “deck the halls” this holiday season as there is a delicious solution for food allergy sufferers. HomeFree, a brand of organic, whole grain, ready-to-eat cookies free of common food allergens such as peanuts, tree nuts, dairy and eggs, has put together two terrific gifts for that sweet tooth person on your list who must deal with food allergies. Founder Jill Robbins, a clinical psychologist and author of “Allergen Free Baking,” turned to baking when her son was diagnosed with severe food allergies. Jill’s goal was to create delicious, wholesome treats that her son, and everyone with or without food allergies, can enjoy together. Today, HomeFree makes a variety of cookies in a dedicated baking facility where the HomeFree team conducts tests on all ingredients and random product batches to ensure that each product is free of common food allergens.
