When attending a Thanksgiving gathering, guests are often asked to bring the rolls or a pie. Hosts often have a meal plan worked out and guest-provided items likes pies and rolls can stand on their own without throwing the menu out of balance. That doesn’t mean you, as a guest, can’t add a big boost to the table by bringing the perfect accompaniment. For that, we’ve totally got you covered.
Our baked goods taste yummy and the variety of options we provide is second to none, but we go even further: everything we bake meets our strict Quality Standards, which prohibit more than 100 colors, preservatives, flavors and other ingredients from all of the food we sell in our stores.
You simply won’t find standards like these at any other grocery store. In fact, we checked labels at other stores and found what we consider unacceptable ingredients. Here’s a rundown on what we don’t allow but you can definitely find elsewhere.
Bread & Rolls
Whether you choose white or wheat; challah or pull-apart; hearth bread, brioche or cornbread, our bread and rolls are baked to meet our standards for:
- No hydrogenated fats
- No bleached or bromated flour

Pies
From classic pecan and pumpkin to fruit favorites like apple and cherry and even to options for vegan and gluten-free diets, you are guaranteed that the pie you choose meets our standards for:
- No hydrogenated fats
