No sugar: Many people are sensitive to sugar. There are numerous reasons to avoid sugar such as elevated blood sugar levels, diabetes, hypoglycemia, overweight, and the desire to be on a "low carb" diet. Sugar is common in bread to make yeast function. Since Pacific Bakery doesn't use yeast, we don't need sugar.

No Honey: It used to be a "natural" food, but bees are fed sugar/glucose syrup when there is not enough pollen available for their survival in winter. Modern bees are used as sugar processing plants, thus the reasons for using honey as a sweetener are non-existent. Also, honey is twice as sweet as sugar by volume and will have the same negative physical effects as sugar. Honey is to be avoided on a "low carb" diet. All Pacific Bakery products are made without honey.

No Eggs: Want to avoid cholesterol-rich foods? Practicing a vegan (ie:strict vegetarian) diet? Don't like things that come from the bottom-side of a chicken? All Pacific Bakery products are made without eggs in any form.

No Dairy: We don't need milk, milk powder, butter, whey, cream or any other dairy product to make our delicious bread. Never did...never will. All Pacific Bakery products are made without dairy of any kind. No Mad Cows here. Add your own if you like.

No Baking powder OR baking soda: Both are chemical leavening agents; we use no chemicals in the crafting of our organic breads...and we exclusively make certified organic breads and bagels. At Pacific Bakery, all of our breads and bagels rise with natural leavening made ONLY with our organic flour. This centuries-old process is the basis for our traditional whole food.
