Tastykake is the largest green bakery in the WORLD!

And it's right here in PHILLY!

I was watching the FOX news a morning or two ago, and it started to talk about the Tastykake factory in Philadelphia. Apparently it moved from their old factory in Hunting Park to the new and green factory in the Navy Yard.



So, how's the factory the largest green bakery in the world?

Well! According to Rick Nichols, the Philadelphia Inquirer Food Columnist:

"Tasty Baking's "greenest bakery" claim in based on several factors, including energy-efficient heating and cooling, water conservation, the use of recycled building materials, "daylight harvesting," and other environmental efficiencies."

To read his whole article on the new factory and how green it is, please go here:

Here's a link to a video that shows you how the new factory looks like:
