Antonina’s Gluten-Free Bakery Launches Individually Portioned Bakery Line for Foodservice Operators

PUYALLUP, Wash. – As foodservice operators continue balancing rising costs, menu innovation, and evolving guest expectations, they’re looking for bakery solutions that simplify back-of-house operations without compromising quality.

Antonina’s Gluten-Free Bakery is meeting that need with a new line of foodservice bakery solutions, including individually portioned muffins, brownies, homestyle cornbread, and Bundt cakes, conveniently packaged in trays. Shipped frozen, the products fit seamlessly into breakfast service, grab-and-go programs, catering, dessert menus, and a variety of other foodservice applications.

Unlike retail-ready products, Antonina’s foodservice bakery solutions are designed exclusively for back-of-house use. Operators can remove and thaw only the number of bakery items they need, rather than preparing an entire tray at once, helping reduce shrink while maintaining consistent quality, exceptional taste, and greater menu flexibility across locations.

Because Antonina’s products are baked in a dedicated gluten-free, peanut-free, and tree nut-free facility and are Certified Gluten-Free by GFCO, operators also gain the flexibility to serve one premium bakery program to every guest, rather than maintaining a separate gluten-free case. With up to 1 in 20 Americans experiencing gluten intolerance, according to the Cleveland Clinic, that flexibility translates directly into serving more guests without added back-of-house complexity.

“Every new product we develop starts with the operator,” said Kay Conley, Head of Research & Development at Antonina’s Gluten-Free Bakery. “Whether a chef needs one brownie for a signature dessert or a basket of muffins for a catered event, we wanted to create products that fit the way real kitchens operate while delivering the bakery quality guests expect.”

Ideal for restaurants, catering, hospitality, healthcare, senior living, education, corporate dining, and other foodservice operations, Antonina’s products help operators simplify preparation while delivering consistent quality across locations.

Antonina’s foodservice bakery portfolio includes:

• Muffins (12-count, 42oz trays)
• Brownies (24-count, 48oz trays)
• Homestyle Cornbread (24-count, 48oz trays)
• Bundt Cakes (12-count, 39oz trays)

Products carry a frozen shelf life of 270 days from the manufacture date, giving operators the flexibility to thaw only what they need for a given shift or event. Once thawed, muffins, Bundt cakes, and cornbread hold for 7 days at ambient temperature, while brownies hold for 14 days.

Baked in a dedicated gluten-free, peanut-free, and tree nut-free facility, Antonina’s products are Certified Gluten-Free by GFCO and Kosher Certified (KOF-K). Foodservice products are available through select distributors, with expanded distribution continuing nationwide.
