Enjoy Life products are not corn-free, but many people still may be able to savor some of our foods.

The xanthan gum in our baked goods is derived from the fermentation of corn sugars and does not contain the corn protein. We recommend checking with your doctor to determine if this ingredient is okay for you.

Our other products do not contain corn as a direct ingredient, but some ingredients (including applesauce, brown rice flakes, brown rice syrup, chia flour, citric acid, cranberries, date paste, expeller-pressed vegetable oil, buckwheat flour, millet flour, freeze-dried raspberries and strawberries, lemon granules, malic acid, natural flavors, palm oil, maltodextrin, quinoa flakes, puffed amaranth, rice bran, rice crisps, roasted hulled pumpkin seeds, rosemary extract, sorghum flour, sunflower seed butter, vanilla, vegetable glycerin,hulled sunflower kernels, white pearled-grain sorghum flour,and xanthan gum) have corn present in the facility from which we purchase the ingredients.

Enjoy Life Foods supports sustainable palm oil and the mission of RSPO to make sustainable palm oil the norm. While we recognize its limitations, the RSPO provides the most widely supported approach to developing and enforcing standards for sustainable palm oil production. We’re purchasing RSPO palm oil, covering 100% of our use since 2013. For consumers who chose to avoid palm oil, we indicate with on-pack wording that some of our products are certified palm oil-free.

Nope, and we like it that way. All Enjoy Life products are verified Non-GMO by the Non-GMO Project. 

The cacao percentage varies from product to product. Here’s a simple breakdown:

• Ricemilk Crunch Chocolate = 35-40% cacao
• Ricemilk Chocolate = 40-45% cacao
• Dark Chocolate = 57% cacao
• Mini Chips & Mega Chunks = 52-55% cacao
• Dark Morsels = 69% cacao

We have to get creative with our ingredients! Like other gluten free and allergy-friendly foods, we use some rice products (rice flour, rice flakes, rice protein). But unlike many other gluten-free manufacturers, we also use nutrient- and flavor-rich grain alternatives like quinoa, amaranth, buckwheat and sorghum flour. For sweeteners, we skip the refined stuff and use a combination of natural fruit juices and honey or pure brown cane sugar. We also bake with rosemary extract and a fruit juice/grain dextrin mixture to lock-in freshness and extend shelf life.

If you keep them sealed, our products will stay fresh until the best-by date on the packaging.

Our products can be frozen, but they have a shelf life of five to six months, so freezing probably isn’t necessary.

We list our dates in two ways, for each country which our products are available for purchase! In the United States, the Best By date is listed: MM/DD/YY.
In Canada, our Best By date is listed as YY/MM/DD, and months are listed as letters:

• MR: March
• AL: April
• MA: May
• JN: June
• JL: July
• AU: August
• SE: September

Celiac disease is an autoimmune condition triggered by the intake of gluten in genetically predisposed individuals. The only treatment for celiac disease is a strict gluten-free diet for life. Luckily there are now many tasty and nutritious gluten-free foods — like Enjoy Life products — that make it easier to eliminate gluten from one’s diet.

Gluten is the protein found in wheat, rye and barley. It is in most mainstream bakery items and prepared foods, including such unsuspecting items as soy sauce and licorice (both made with wheat). People with celiac disease and other forms of gluten intolerance must avoid foods that contain gluten, or they may suffer from short- and long-term health complications.

In the great “gluten debate,” oats are a controversial grain, once thought to be a substantial source of gluten. Recent research has suggested that oats do not contain the reactive peptide sequence known to be problematic for gluten intolerance. However, most oats in this country are grown, processed or stored near wheat and are thought to be contaminated at levels too high to be considered safe for people with celiac disease. Therefore, we have chosen to use certified gluten free purity protocol oats in our products that do contain oats.

A food allergy occurs when the immune system produces an antibody in response to the protein in specific foods. Exposure to the food in even the tiniest amounts can produce symptoms either immediately or delayed, ranging from uncomfortable (hives, eczema, stomach upset, sinus problems) to life-threatening (swelling of the tongue, closing of the throat). Food elimination diets, blood and/or lab tests are used as a part of the diagnosis.

We wish we could honor all requests for samples and coupons, as we know that it can be expensive to eat allergy-friendly and gluten-free foods. Unfortunately, we have a limited number of samples and coupons that we can distribute throughout the year, so we can’t send coupons to everyone who requests them. You can, however, download and print our digital coupons any time. They are located at the bottom of every page on our website.

Enjoy Life has always supported organizations that help people with special dietary needs. We occasionally donate products and coupons to events, but the decision is made on a case-by-case basis. To submit a proposal, complete our product donation form. While we cannot say yes to everyone, we promise that we will review your proposal and get back to you with a decision.
