Fresh From the Oven: ZoRoCo’s Gluten-Free Baking Capabilities

At ZoRoCo, gluten-free is baked right into our processes. Our GFCO-certified Gluten-Free Plant has recently expanded to include full-service baking capabilities, giving brands in the gluten-free and allergen-friendly space new opportunities to scale their ideas from concept to commercialization. 

Whether you’re marketing gluten-free cookies, or expanding your gluten-free snacks portfolio, ZoRoCo’s team is ready to help brands commercialize and accelerate growth.   

In this article, we’ll explore what our new gluten-free baking capabilities include, the types of products and packaging we can support, and why leading gluten-free brands trust ZoRoCo as their contract manufacturer.

A Closer Look at ZoRoCo’s Dedicated Gluten-Free Plant

Our Gluten-Free Plant was built from the ground up in 2022 to meet the strictest food safety and allergen-friendly standards to prevent cross-contact. Our plant is GFCO Gluten-Free Certified, GFSI BRC AA rated, peanut-free, and allergen-friendly, controlling for tree nuts, soy, and dairy.

Every square foot of our facility is designed for safety and quality. That means gluten-free brands can grow confidently, knowing their products are handled in a tightly controlled environment that meets or exceeds retail, food service, or club store regulatory expectations.

ZoRoCo’s commitment to transparency runs through every part of the process from ingredient traceability to real-time data access. Our partners can view their own production runs, inventory, and KPIs through our custom ERP portal, ensuring full visibility from batching to shipping.

Now, with our expanded gluten-free baking capabilities, we are investing even more in our partners in the gluten-free space. 

Baking Capabilities for Gluten-Free Manufacturing

The heart of our new expansion lies in one word: baking.

Our Gluten-Free Plant now features high volume rack oven baking, with either rotary mold or wire cut depositors, along with multiple packaging formats. This gives our clients the flexibility to produce both small-batch and high-volume gluten-free baked goods — all in one place.

From batching and blending to forming, baking, and packaging, ZoRoCo offers a seamless end-to-end solution for gluten-free food manufacturing.

Here’s what that means for your gluten-free brand:

• Rack oven baking – Ideal for soft or crunchy cookies and artisan-style gluten-free products, such as granolas.

• Depositors and wrappers – Deliver precision and portion control for products like brownies, muffins, or snack bites.

These new baking capabilities open the door to a world of product innovation, including classic gluten-free cookies and granolas to brownies, muffins, and innovative snacks.
