King Arthur Baking Company Launches New Keto, Low-Carb Mixes and Gluten-Free Pizza Flour

Available in summer 2022, King Arthur's innovative new mixes make delicious baked goods accessible for consumers following keto, low-carb, and gluten-free lifestyles - without compromising on taste.

NORWICH, Vt., June 22, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- In order to leverage top trends, like yeasted baking and better-for-you dessert options, King Arthur Baking Company is launching a new collection of Keto mixes and Gluten-Free Pizza Flour that allow bakers to experience the joy of baking while living a keto, carb-conscious, or gluten free lifestyle.

"Providing bakers with the highest-quality products to expand their baking potential is paramount to us at King Arthur," said John Henry Siedlecki, King Arthur Vice President of Brand & Innovation. "Our 2022 launches take baking to the next level by providing a delicious and rewarding experience no matter your dietary preference."

The keto diet remains popular among consumers. As more consumers transition to living a keto lifestyle, they are driving growth in the baking mix category, with keto mixes outpacing total baking mix category growth¹. King Arthur's line of keto baking mixes have some of the lowest net carbs and are gluten-free, grain-free and non-GMO – all at an affordable price point.
