Little Northern Bakehouse Debuts Delicious New Sprouted Products and Fresh Packaging Redesign at the 2018 Natural Products Expo East
Brand's first sprouted varieties rise to the occasion; prove gluten-free can still be full of flavor and nutrition

ABBOTSFORD, British Columbia, Sept. 13, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Responding to consumer demand for gluten-free products that taste great, Little Northern Bakehouse, a Canadian leader in gluten-free and plant-based breads and bakery products, will unveil bold, new packaging and two new delicious varieties, Sprouted Honey Oat Bread and Sprouted 7 Grain Bread, at the 2018 Natural Products Expo East (Booth #1710). The new products and packaging will be rolling out at retailers in the coming months as Little Northern Bakehouse continues to grow its presence in the United States.

Dedicated to making healthier, gluten-free breads that sacrifice nothing in taste and texture, Little Northern Bakehouse offers a variety of products that differ greatly from the current options in the category. Little Northern Bakehouse products are sourced from gluten-free, non-GMO and whole-food ingredients, and feature delicious seeds and grains for a boost in nutrition. Many are also 100% plant-based and vegan, appealing to a wide-variety of diets and food preferences.

Further differentiating itself from both traditional and gluten-free breads on the market, Little Northern Bakehouse breads are certified as Glyphosate Residue Free and display the Bio-Checked Non Glyphosate Certified seal. With this, consumers can feel confident that Little Northern Bakehouse products use third-party testing to confirm the absence of this chemical which The World Health Organization classifies as a "probable carcinogen," or cancer-causing substance.

"For those who eat gluten-free, whether for health reasons or personal preference, it's well-known that options are difficult to find and don't always taste great. This is especially true in the bread category," says Darren Mahaffy, Chief Marketing Officer at Little Northern Bakehouse. "At Little Northern Bakehouse, we believe that gluten-free doesn't have to mean taste-free, and that everyone should have the freedom to enjoy delicious food regardless of dietary restrictions. Little Northern Bakehouse is growing exponentially in the U.S. and our new products and packaging will give retailers and consumers even more reasons to love the line."

Sprouted Gluten-Free
Offering a first taste at Expo East, Little Northern Bakehouse will be sampling its two newest gluten-free breads and the first sprouted varieties for the brand: Sprouted Honey Oat Bread and Sprouted 7 Grain Bread. Both bring fluffy, soft texture and great taste and feature sprouted grains, a growing food trend as sprouting delivers incredible benefits, including enhanced nutrition and easier digestion.

The new Sprouted 7 Grain bread features a hearty sprouted grain and seed blend that includes sunflower seeds, sprouted red and white quinoa, sprouted amaranth, gluten-free sprouted quick oats, sprouted millet and sprouted brown rice flour. The Sprouted Honey Oat Bread brings a rich and slightly sweet flavor to the table. Little Northern Bakehouse also proudly supports Glorybee Save the Bee, a social initiative program to protect honey bees using research, education, and outreach to save our favorite pollinator.

The new varieties join the Little Northern Bakehouse full suite of delicious products: Whole Grain Wide Slice Loaf, White Wide Slice Loaf, Millet & Chia Loaf, Seeds & Grain Loaf, Cinnamon & Raisin Loaf, Millet & Chia Hot Dog Buns, and the Millet & Chia Buns. All Little Northern Bakehouse products can be found in the freezer section of the grocery store in most natural foods retailers.

Stand-Out Packaging for Outstanding Taste
The new packaging is bold and focuses on the most important component of Little Northern Bakehouse products – taste. With vibrant colors (each product has its own hue) and clean lines that leave plenty of room for see through side panels, the new packaging allows consumers to clearly see the ingredients and easily preview the great texture.
