| The Celiac Restaurant Guide recommends all 100% gluten free restaurants. A 100% gluten free restaurant means the restaurant has a kitchen that is dedicated to preparing gluten free food. Nothing containing gluten is used in the kitchen. VIITALS Specialty Bakery & Lifestyle Cafe is a 100% gluten free bakery and a 100% gluten free restaurant. There are not very many gluten free bakeries or gluten free restaurants in North America. The Celiac Restaurant Guide hopes you will support gluten free restaurants and gluten free bakeries when you find them. If these restaurants and bakeries are supported by Celiacs, more will open, and the ones that are here now will profit and continue operate in your area. |

Why Gluten Free and Hypoallergenic?
It is estimated that nowadays 1 out of 10 individuals suffer from some form of gluten intolerance. Additionally, many individuals suffer from an autoimmune disease called ‘Celiac disease’. These individuals are extremely sensitive to foods, containing gluten.
These foods can cause severe reactions, and in rare occasions could even be lethal. It is our observation that even those, who do not need to be on a gluten-free diet can benefit from avoiding gluten-containing foods.
Almost everyone nowadays has some type of food allergy. This is why we decided to remove all major food allergens from the foods we bake at the Viitals Bakery & Café.
