"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 baobab powder comes from a tree that grows in Africa, Australia, and the Middle East. Every part of the tree has traditionally been used as food or as the basis of clothing or household items.
Baobab powder comes from the fruit of the baobab tree, which has been called for centuries "the Tree of Life". Baobabs grow wild and can become massive—the largest recorded baobab tree is 98 feet tall and 36 feet in diameter! These magnificent trees live for up to 3,000 years, resiliently surviving in some of the world's harshest climates by storing water in their trunks and condensing nutrients into their leaves, bark, and fruit. Baobab fruit is a pod that contains incredibly nutrient dense powder and seeds.
Baobab powder has 6 times the vitamin C of an orange by weight. It contains nearly 50% fiber, 75% of which is prebiotic. It also has possibly the highest calcium content of any plant food. It provides 2 times the calcium of milk. Taking baobab powder can be as simple as mixing it with water or blending it into a smoothie, or it can be included in recipes for pancakes, breads, sauces, desserts and more.
Since baobab powder is harvested in the wild (don't worry—the trees grow abundantly and the fruit was previously going to waste!) no pesticides, chemicals or harmful farming practices are used.
