Red Plate’s Top 8 Allergen Free products were turned down this morning by a smaller chain of specialty grocery stores. Despite all our marketing materials leading with “Nut Free | Vegan | Gluten Free”, the bakery buyer’s reason was “We have enough gluten free product right now.” I countered with “Red Plate products are also nut free, soy free and vegan”. The buyer answered, “We don’t get many requests for that in our bakeries.”
