Boston, MA – Dancing Deer Baking Company, a leader in the natural/ specialty food products industry, and online personal and corporate gift markets, continues to innovate within the baked goods category by being the first national bakery brand to introduce a line of Non-GMO Verified cookies to in-store bakery departments at grocery, natural food and specialty stores nationwide. The company’s line of five Non-GMO Verified Thin & Crispy Cookies are all-natural, baked-from-scratch and kosher-certified. All products are currently available for sale, and have already begun shipping to distributors nationwide.
Dancing Deer Baking Company’s NEW line of Non-GMO Verified Thin & Crispy Cookies has been verified by the Non-GMO Project. The Non-GMO Project is a non-profit organization with a mission of protecting the non-GMO food supply and giving consumers an informed choice. Polls have consistently shown that a significant majority of Americans would like to be able to tell if the food they are purchasing contains GMOs (a 2012 Mellman Group poll found that 91% of American consumers wanted GMOs labeled). And, according to a recent CBS/New York Times poll, 53% of consumers said they would not buy food that has been genetically modified. The Non-GMO Project’s seal for verified products will, for the first time, give the public an opportunity to make an informed choice when it comes to GMOs. According to Non-GMO Project Executive Director Megan Westgate, “if you are like most Americans, you want to know what’s in the food you’re eating and feeding to your family – and that includes GMOs (genetically modified organisms).” While GMOs are labeled or banned in more than 60 other countries, in the U.S. and Canada they are unlabeled and found in nearly 80% of processed food. “We are proud to be first to market with a non-GMO product line for the in-store bakery” says Frank Carpenito, CEO of Dancing Deer Baking. “Finding an ample supply of high quality Non-GMO Verified ingredients has been challenging, but from the very beginning we set out to provide consumers with new great tasting clean ingredient sweet goods options for their families, and we are confident we did just that with the launch of our new Non-GMO Verified cookies.” Dancing Deer’s Non-GMO Verified Thin & Crispy Cookies are available in five delicious flavors: Chocolate Chip with Sea Salt, Dark Chocolate Macadamia, Chocolate Almond Toffee, Ginger Spice with Crystallized Ginger and Lemon Burst. They are being sold in 6 oz. stackable tamper-proof tubs for easy merchandising on bakery tables. These Non-GMO Verified Thin & Crispy cookies have a 6-month frozen and 45-day post thaw shelf-life.
