Allergen & Cross-Contamination Statement

The Flock & Whisk creates a wide range of bakes using gluten-free, dairy & egg free ingredients. To help customers make informed choices, please read the following important information before ordering:

🌿 Ingredients & Allergen Handling

    •    All products made for sale use gluten-free flours and are dairy-free and egg-free as standard.

    •    Many of my gluten-free bakes include ground almonds, which add moisture, structure, and richness. For this reason, my products are not suitable for anyone with a severe nut allergy.

    •    Although I use gluten-free oat flour and gluten-free oat milk, I also work with soya milk. Alternatives can be used on request where possible.

🍞 Gluten & Cross-Contamination Controls

My bakery currently operates from my home kitchen. I am personally gluten free, but other members of my household are not. This means I cannot guarantee a completely gluten-free environment. However, I follow strict procedures to minimise risk:

    •    All business ingredients are stored in separate fridge freezers from household food.

    •    Gluten-containing household products are kept sealed in a designated area away from my baking zone.

    •    All gluten-free flours, starches, sugars, and other baking ingredients are kept in sealed tubs on dedicated shelves on the opposite side of the kitchen.

    •    My oven is deep cleaned weekly, and no gluten-containing items are baked on production days.

    •    Work surfaces, equipment, and tools are cleaned thoroughly before each baking session.

Despite not being legally classified as a certified gluten-free kitchen, many coeliac customers choose and enjoy my bakes without issue. Every person’s sensitivity is different, so if you’re unsure, please reach out.

⚠️ Important Legal Note

Because all major allergens are present in the household, there is always a small risk of cross-contamination. This includes:

gluten, nuts, peanuts, sesame, soya, sulphites, eggs, milk, mustard, celery, and others.
