The Good Flour Corp. announced that it is developing its latest portfolio addition, a children's protein pancake and waffle mix called "Patty Cakes™." Patty Cakes™ is enriched with 23 grams of potato protein and 100% free of gluten and all top allergens, including dairy, nuts, egg, and soy. Patty Cakes has been meticulously formulated to appeal to health-conscious parents seeking alternative to traditional pancake mixes.

In preparation for the Patty Cakes™ launch in the coming months, GFCO is finalizing the ingredient structure and exploring moving the product throughout its existing retail and food service channels. GFCO has also applied for a trademark for Patty Cakes™ in Canada and the United States. The chefs at GFCO are also working on a line of frozen, ready-made waffles designed for parents and kids on the go.

Meeting demand for reduced-sugar, gluten-free foods that provide an appropriate amount of protein for children, the Company feels Patty Cakes™ are ideal for school programs throughout North America looking to improve the quality of their nutritional offering to children. GFCO seeks to be a solution to the growing health concern of food allergies that, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), affect an estimated 1 in 13 (~8%) of children in the United States today. Most serious allergic reactions stem from eight foods or food groups: milk, eggs, wheat, soy, peanuts, tree nuts, fish, and crustacean shellfish, none of which are found in Patty Cakes.

Patty Cakes™ have no sugar added, keeping within CDC recommendations to limit caloric intake from this source. Furthermore, research has determined that diets high in sugar have been linked to health problems, including obesity, heart disease, and memory function. Recent research suggests that sugar-sweetened products can have a negative effect on brain development as well.
