Earlier this year, Aunt Gussie's launched a full line of Gluten-free Cookies which are produced in a stand alone facility dedicated strictly to Gluten-free products. Making baked treats available to those living with Celiac disease, diabetes, gluten-free allergies and other dietary restrictions was paramount in introducing this brand new line of alternative baked goods.  Without sacrificing taste or quality, the gluten-free line has become extremely popular in health food stores and specialty stores offering gluten-free products.
