Gluten-free and allergen-free foods made by "Enjoy Life Foods" debut Friday during the Chicago Cubs home opener at four locations in the park, including the Sheffield Grill, located inside the park at Gate D by the Billy Williams statue.
They will offer gluten-free Not Nuts Beach Bash-- a mixture of sunflower kernels, pumpkin seeds, dried pineapple, apricots and cranberries-- and Soft Baked Snickerdoodle Cookies. To ensure that every food product is in fact gluten-free and free of the eight common allergens (peanuts, tree nuts, eggs, milk, soy, wheat, fish, and shellfish), Enjoy Life manufactures its products in a dedicated nut and gluten-free facility.
