All of our products are made in a home-based kitchen containing known food allergens (eggs, peanuts, wheat, dairy, nuts, and soy).

Because equipment is shared, Sweetestry can’t 100% guarantee an allergen free product (similar to ordering food at a restaurant). It is the customer’s responsibility to notify their guests of any allergy risks, and to inform Sweetestry of any allergies. 

We do offer vegan, nut-free, and gluten free options if the customer assumes responsibility and acknowledges that they are aware that treats are made in a home-based kitchen. 

We wash surfaces/cutlery/equipment thoroughly before and after prepping our food. We also keep utensils separate during food preparation, and always practice good hygiene, hand-washing, and wear latex free gloves when prepping our treats. 

Please email us at [email protected] with any questions or concerns. 

Aside from practicing good hygiene, we have completed the ServSafe Employee Food Safety Course and Exam through the National Restaurant Association.
