UNACCEPTABLE INGREDIENTS FOR FOOD
There are many definitions out there for “natural food products” and many opinions on what food additives to avoid. Among other criteria, we draw a line when it comes to hydrogenated fats and artificial colors, flavors, preservatives and sweeteners. This guides us every day in choosing what to put on our shelves so you can feel confident about what you put on your plate.
Below is the list of ingredients that we find unacceptable in food. In other words, we won’t sell a food product if it contains any of these. Based on new findings, the list may change, but we can proudly say that compromising our standards is also unacceptable.
