Gluten-free baked goods producer, Dr Schär USA, has launched soy-free versions of its Artisan Baker Bread line in response to the increasing demand for allergen-friendly options. The range includes Artisan Baker White, Artisan Baker Multigrain and Artisan Baker 10 Grains & Seeds Breads. According to Dr Schär, the reason behind the soy-free formulation of the Artisan Baker Bread line comes from the company's commitment to meet the evolving dietary requirements of consumers. The new soy-free formulation offers a blend of artisanal flavours and a soft, moist texture. Robert Ehret, executive vice president of Dr Schär North America, said: "We are delighted to introduce the new soy-free version of our beloved Artisan Baker Breads. Our...new soy-free recipes reflect our ongoing commitment to creating inclusive and delectable options for individuals with diverse dietary needs." He continued: "We understand the challenges faced by those with soy allergies, and we are proud to offer a solution that allows them to enjoy our exceptional bread with confidence".
