Citrus Fiber Update...
We have received many inquires regarding Citrus Fiber, our new
ingredient added to almost all of our breads. The only bread that was not affected by the change is our Four Flour Loaf.
Just for clarification,
Orange Citrus Fiber is derived from citrus pulp of the orange, not from the fruit itself. According to studies, Citrus Fiber offers the following positive
attributes when added to bakery products: 1) manages moisture migration, 2) reduces both trans fats and saturated fats, 3) reduces calories, 4) Effectively
reduces net carbs, 5) increases dietary fiber, 6) naturally extends shelf life, and most importantly, 7) does not compromise taste..

Ener-G Foods
Allergen Statement
Ener-G Foods, Inc. is a wheat-free, gluten-free, dairy-free, peanut
free, tree-nut free and kosher certified facility. The company has three separately owned
production lines. All products manufactured by Ener-G Foods, Inc. are
subject to our HACCP program. This program is in addition to current
Good Manufacturing Processes required by the federal and state
governments.
The HACCP (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control
Point) program identifies critical points in production operations that
inherently lend (even minutely) itself to contamination issues
(including cross-contamination), food safety issues, etc. Even though
this program is not required for bakeries, the company believes that by
being a HACCP compliant facility, all risks of cross contamination, or
even any food safety issue will be completely eliminated.
Our food safety programs for all three
production lines require us to clean, sanitize, and inspect after each
and every product is run through the line. In addition, the equipment
utilized by the company is designed for multiple products.
Even with this program, the company would like
to disclose any of the top 9 allergens that are used on each of the
production lines.
Dry Mix Line:
Ener-G Foods' dry mix line is wheat-free, gluten-free, dairy-free, peanut-free, soy-free, and tree-nut-free.
Bakery:
The bakery
production line uses Egg Powder and Dry Whole Eggs for a limited number of
products. These products are produced on separate equipment (pans,
bowls, etc) and are separated when not in use. The only common
equipment for these known allergens and other products are the ovens.
The food product is never in contact with the oven at any time.
Snack Foods Line:
The
snack food line produces our pretzels and in the future, other snack
items. This production line is in Pennsylvania.
The snack food line also produces pretzels with sesame seeds and poppy seeds.
We hope this disclosure helps your decision upon whether to purchase
Ener-G Foods, Inc products. If you have further questions or comments,
please email Sam Wylde, III (samiii@ener-g.com) or James S. Williamson (jim@ener-g.com).
