Dietary & Allergen Information

At Obi Bakes It, we respect your choices, and that’s why we provide you the information you need to enjoy our products, especially if you’re adhering to a special diet, or have a food allergy or intolerance.

What’s in our Cakes, Cookies and other treats

Beneath each product on our website you will find a Description and Ingredients list. Please note that all our products are baked fresh onsite in our kitchen, which handles ingredients used to make all our products. While we do have processes in place to minimise the risk of cross-contamination, we have small kitchens and do not have segregated production lines, so cross-contamination of ingredients is possible.

All our kitchens handle all the main allergens of dairy, nuts, peanuts, gluten (wheat), egg and sulphites. If you have a serious allergy to any of these allergens, or one which could cause you to have a major allergic reaction, sadly the only way for you to be 100% safe is not to consume any of our products.

Information for Coeliacs

The Gluten-Free collection is made with gluten free and non gluten containing ingredients, however, our kitchens handle ingredients containing gluten. 

If you require further information on the ingredients used in our Made Without Gluten range please contact us. Our Red Velvet cakes and cupcakes contain distilled white vinegar, which is fermented from barley. However, as distilled white vinegar is made using a fermentation process, this means that the amount of barley, and therefore gluten, in the end product is extremely small and is well below a level which is safe for people with coeliac disease. This level is made even lower as the vinegar is used in very small amounts in the batter. The data spec sheet for the particular type of vinegar that we use confirms that no traces of gluten have been detected during tests. Please visit the Coeliac Society’s website for further information.

Vegetarian?

All of our products are suitable for vegetarians unless otherwise specified. There is no gelatine in the Marshmallow Fluff, our food colourings do not contain any animal products in them, and we do not use cheese that contains rennet in any of our products. We have had products in the past that contained bacon, and this will always be clearly identified in the product label. However we do not plan on bringing in any meat containing products for the foreseeable future. 

Religious Dietary Information

None of our products are certified Halal or Kosher. We do not use alcohol in all of our products. Any products that do contain alcohol, this will be clearly listed in the ingredients section on the product’s page on our website. The white vinegar we use in some of our products (Red Velvet especially) is distilled white vinegar and not white wine vinegar.
