T. Marzetti Wins 2025 Product of the Year Awards for New York Bakery Gluten Free Texas Toast and Texas Roadhouse Mini Rolls

T. Marzetti Company, a wholly owned subsidiary of Lancaster Colony Corporation (NASDAQ: LANC), is proud to announce that two of its recently-launched items have been named Product of the Year for 2025. New York Bakery™ Gluten Free Texas Toast was awarded the top gluten-free item. Texas Roadhouse™ Mini Rolls were named top bakery side dish. Product of the Year USA is the world's largest consumer-voted award for marketplace innovation, voted on by 40,000 consumers. Winners are selected based on product visual appeal, convenience, category superiority and availability.

New York Bakery Gluten Free Texas Toast, launched in August 2024, is a breakthrough in the gluten-free category. After more than a decade of research, the company developed a patent-pending dough-based recipe and proprietary production process that delivers the taste, texture and structural integrity of traditional Texas Toast—without compromise. The certified gluten-free product is made in a dedicated gluten-free facility, ensuring both safety and peace of mind for consumers. New York Bakery Gluten Free Texas Toast is available at major retailers like Publix, Walmart, Kroger, Meijer and Albertsons.

Texas Roadhouse Mini Rolls, launched in June 2024, are part of T. Marzetti’s exclusive licensing agreement with Texas Roadhouse, which also includes steak sauces. The partnership allows fans of the restaurant to experience the delicious rolls at home. The product, which comes in a 12-count bakeable pan with a packet of honey cinnamon glaze, is available exclusively at Walmart, with distribution to additional retailers expected in the coming months.

“Recognition from Product of the Year is a testament to the capabilities of our talented culinary and product development team and our commitment to quality and innovation in the frozen bread category,” said Izzy Laanaba, Senior Director, Brand Management at T. Marzetti Company. “At T, Marzetti, our mission is to make every meal better, and we are thrilled that consumers are adding Gluten Free Texas Toast and Texas Roadhouse Mini Rolls to their families’ meals.”
