To meet the growing consumer demand for gluten-free products, Rudi’s Gluten-Free Bakery has expanded its line of nationally available, all-natural gluten-free products to now include hamburger buns, hot dog rolls and pizza crusts. Rudi’s executives made the announcement today at the Natural Products Expo West trade show in Anaheim, Calif. Rudi’s Gluten-Free Bakery, launched by Rudi’s Organic Bakery in 2010, is making life brighter for all families that suffer from celiac disease or gluten intolerances by introducing gluten-free multigrain hamburger buns, multigrain hot dog rolls and pizza crusts that have the same look, taste and texture of regular buns and rolls the entire family is sure to enjoy.

“Our gluten-free breads addressed this problem by delivering a taste and look just like real bread. We’re excited to add our new hamburger buns, hot dog rolls and pizza crusts to our gluten-free line, creating more healthy and wholesome options the whole family can enjoy.”

“Consumers had told us for years that they were highly dissatisfied with gluten-free bread and bakery products,” said Doug Radi, vice president of marketing for Rudi’s Organic Bakery. “Our gluten-free breads addressed this problem by delivering a taste and look just like real bread. We’re excited to add our new hamburger buns, hot dog rolls and pizza crusts to our gluten-free line, creating more healthy and wholesome options the whole family can enjoy.”
