If an allergen is present in the product, it will be clearly declared in the ingredients.
"May Contain" statement NEW FOR 2025 (Progressive rollout):
- In 2025 we will be progressively updating our labels and product pictures with our new label that now include a "May Contain" statement.
- The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) dictates that "Cross-contamination statements may be declared by food manufacturers and importers".
- That said, we hold ourselves to much higher standards than the CFIA and Health Canada rules oblige. Most companies do not and you will only rarely see "May Contain" statements.
- If there is a remote chance that there might be cross-contamination of a priority allergen, we will declare it on the product label in the form of a "May Contain" statement.
- A "May Contain" statement does not mean that the allergen is present in the product, it is simple a precautionary measure we take to stay the most transparent possible.
- If an allergen is present in the product, it will be clearly declared in the ingredients.
- For example our Quebec made flours come from a mill that makes both oat and wheat flours. Since both allergens are present in the mill we automatically declare the possibility of cross-contamination even if all precautionary measures are taken.
- Only priority allergens are declared in the "May Contain" statement, which are:
- Cereals & Grains: Triticale, Barley, Oats, Rye, Wheat.
- Tree Nuts: Almonds, Brazil Nuts, Cashews, Hazelnuts, Macadamia Nuts, Pecans, Pine Nuts, Pistachios, Walnuts.
- Peanuts
- Sesame
- Eggs
- Milk
- Soy
- Mustard
- Fish
- Seafood: Crustaceans, Molluscs.
- Sulphites
- Priority allergens are decided by government agencies and health boards. To read more on the subject see "Common food allergens - Priority allergens" published by the CFIA.

Our organic hot chocolate mix is ready to use for all your chocolate drinks! Made with organic cane sugar and alkalized cocoa powder.
10-12% refers to the fat content in the powder. Sometimes spelled simply 10/12 cocoa powder is referred to as "Low Fat" which is the most popular percentage.
That makes it the perfect ingredient for hot and cold drink recipes, such as hot chocolates, mokas, shakes, and more!
What is alkalized cocoa powder?
- Alkalized cocoa powder (7.3-7.8pH) is more neutral than natural cocoa powder (5-6.2pH) and is better suited to make drinks as it dissolves better in water.
- It is washed in alkaline solution of potassium carbonate. This wash neutralizes its acidity. So, dutch-process cocoa powder is neutral.
Simple hot chocolate recipe?
- Add 2 tablespoons (≈19g) to 3/4 cup (175ml) of boiling water and mix.
- Add milk or your favorite vegan drink to taste.
