Our Ingredients.

Alcohol

Some products contain liqueur, rum, or brandy as an ingredient. This is clearly declared in the list of ingredients.

Flavors

KuchenMeister is working intensively on a technologically feasible reduction in additives. This means, for example, increasingly using natural flavors. A complete switch to natural flavors is planned.

Allergens

Allergens that are directly contained in the recipe can be found in bold in the respective ingredient list. The packaging of our products contains a warning immediately following the list of ingredients indicating which allergens may be present.

The label "May contain traces of..." is a voluntary warning about the unintentional contamination of allergenic substances in the food that cannot be completely avoided technologically. Source: Food Association.

The trace warning does not mean that the food must contain even the smallest amounts of allergens.

Cross-contamination: Despite our high standards of hygiene and the utmost care, unintentional transmission of allergens within production cannot be completely ruled out.

Egg

The use of eggs in our products is indicated in bold letters on the product ingredients list. These can be found on the respective product page and on the packaging.

Emulsifiers

Fat and water don't mix easily. This is where emulsifiers come in. They make it possible to combine components that are naturally immiscible into stable compositions.

To ensure our doughs and creams are perfectly processed during production and our cakes always offer the highest quality, we use emulsifiers such as mono- and diglycerides of fatty acids for stabilization. These are made exclusively from plant-based ingredients.

Dyes

We generally avoid chemical azo dyes. We are working hard to increasingly switch to natural coloring plant extracts.

Gelatin

is not used in our products.

Glycerin

Glycerin is used as a humectant and is always plant-based in all Kuchenmeister products.

Halal

Some of our baked goods contain a ‘Halal seal’ on the packaging.
This label identifies products that comply with Muslim dietary laws. They contain, among other things, no pork ingredients, no alcohol, and no animal rennet. Since we use only plant-based ingredients (except eggs and dairy products) in the production of our baked goods, the seal only refers to the exclusion of alcohol and dairy products made with animal rennet. These are listed on the product site marked with a corresponding pictogram and can be filtered in the selection.

Preservatives

Essentially, the use of preservatives is avoided.

Cross contamination

Despite high standards of hygiene and the utmost care, the unintentional transmission of allergens in small quantities within production cannot be completely ruled out.

Lab

Some of the dairy products we use, such as quark and sweet whey powder, contain rennet. This is exclusively of microbiological origin.

Lactose

We produce numerous products without the addition of milk-based raw materials. These can be filtered in the product list.
Dairy products and milk-based ingredients that are directly included in the recipe can be found in bold letters in the respective ingredient list. These are on the product site and noted on the packaging. Possible cross-contamination (the presence of lactose) cannot be ruled out under any circumstances.

Lupine flour

It is obtained from the peeled seeds of the sweet lupin. Sweet lupin lacks the bitter compounds found in traditional lupin. Lupin flour is characterized by a 40 percent protein content and a slightly nutty flavor.

Lupin flour is used in a few products. If it is included in the recipe, you will find the ingredient in bold letters in the list of ingredients. These can be found on the product site and can be read on the packaging.

Flour

The wheat flour used in our products is primarily sourced from regional mills. Our focus is on reliable regional origin and optimal quality.

Mono- and diglycerides

The mono- and diglycerides of fatty acids contained in some baked goods, which are used as emulsifiers, are exclusively of plant origin.

Nuts and tree nuts

Hazelnuts and almonds are used in various products. Despite the greatest care, cross-contamination cannot be completely ruled out. Nuts and tree nuts that are directly contained in the recipe can be found in bold letters in the respective ingredient list. These can be found on the product site and can be read on the packaging.

Palm oil

For all our products, we use exclusively segregated, SG-certified palm oil, whose origins can be traced back to their origin. No additional rainforest is destroyed for our products.

Soy

Soy is used in a few products. You'll find soy in bold in the list of ingredients. This information can be found on the product page and on the packaging.

Sorbitol

We use it as a humectant in our cakes. Sorbitol is always of plant origin.

Animal ingredients

Kuchenmeister-Produkte are generally vegetarian – we do not use any ingredients of animal origin except for eggs and dairy products.

Vegan

KuchenMeister products are generally vegetarian. Many of them are also made without the addition of eggs and milk. These are marked with a corresponding pictogram on the product page.

Vegetarian

KuchenMeister-products are vegetarian – we do not use any ingredients of animal origin except for eggs and raw materials from milk and dairy products.

Sugar

Sugar is one of the basic ingredients in fine baked goods. For several years now, we have been working on a steady reduction of the sugar content in our products.

Additives

KuchenMeister is working intensively on a technologically feasible reduction in additives. This means, for example, that we are increasingly using natural flavors in the production of our baked goods.

We essentially avoid the use of preservatives. We also avoid artificial colors as much as possible.

FAQ

What does “Mindful Cake Enjoyment” mean?

Sweet snacks and cakes are delicious indulgences. As part of a healthy and balanced lifestyle, there's nothing wrong with enjoying cookies, cakes, and treats. Children have difficulty judging the right amount and rely on adult support.

For many years, we have been committed to sustainable action and the protection and improvement of human rights. Accordingly, we are fully committed to implementing the UN Guiding Principles on Human Rights and are continuously working with suppliers and business partners to expand their implementation. Raw materials are selected according to high quality standards and our sustainability criteria. We regularly monitor compliance with these standards. Zu unserem Code of Conduct

I have questions about donations

Supporting small and large causes with donations is a top priority for KuchenMeister GmbH. However, donation requests to our organization have recently increased significantly. It is impossible for us to respond to all of these, certainly often worthy and legitimate, requests. Therefore, our social commitment focuses on supporting clubs and organizations in Soest.

Please submit donation requests using our donation form at Kontakt.

Promotional material

These days, we rely almost exclusively on digital media and don't use caps, key chains, etc. for distribution. Accordingly, we are unable to respond to requests in this regard.
