With more than a decade of recipe and production research, the New York Bakery brand is raising the bar in gluten-free bread with its new patent-pending, first-of-its kind dough recipe that preserves the beloved texture, volume and structural integrity of the products that consumers know and love.

Beyond creating delicious products made with real ingredients, T. Marzetti understands that family meals are a cherished experience, and everyone should be able to enjoy them without compromise. The new Texas Toast products are certified gluten-free and produced in a dedicated gluten-free facility, mitigating any risk of cross-contamination.

Marzetti Company. “By leveraging cutting-edge techniques and our deep expertise, we’ve developed a dough-based recipe that replicates the flavor and texture of our classic breads. This new line not only sets a new standard in the gluten-free market but also addresses the evolving needs of our consumers, delivering both satisfaction and peace of mind with every bite.”

There has never been a more important time to offer gluten-free options that don't sacrifice flavor or consistency. Developed through extensive research into gluten-free families' needs, the company integrated consumer feedback to meet evolving dietary preferences and the need for market availability. The result is a delicious range that meets high standards for taste, quality and convenience, catering to the whole family.

Beginning this Fall, New York Bakery Gluten Free Texas Toast will be available at major grocery stores including Publix and Walmart, followed by expansion to Kroger and Albertsons.
