AN award-winning bakery is launching a new range of on-the-go baked snacks.

Halstead-based Davina Steel bakery specialises in gluten-free products and is the only commercial gluten and nut-free bakery in East Anglia.

After seeing success with its home-baking kits and mixes, the bakery is now launching a range of easy to carry snack packs.

With both savoury and sweet options, the packs include crostini, biscotti, shortbread and gingerbread in a variety of flavours and are made using natural ingredients with no preservatives or chemicals.

Bakery co-founder Davina Steel said: “Ever since we opened our own purpose-built, gluten-free bakery last year it has been our intention to create our own branded bakery range.

“We’ve noticed a huge gap in the market for good quality and delicious gluten-free snacks that can be enjoyed on the go.

“There’s little out there to cater for this category so we’ve filled the gap with a range that should appeal to all tastes and eating occasions.”

The bakery expects the products to prove popular as both impulse purchases and every day treats or nibbles.

Davina added: “It is often very difficult to find good quality, gluten-free snacks when you’re out and about.

“Our new range ticks so many boxes for allergy sufferers and meets the growing demand for out-of-the-home snacking.”

Prices will range from £1.99 to £2.75 with the products now set to go nationwide this month.
