"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 chili pepper powder is contrary to popular belief a spice mix rather than a single spice. This gives the powder a more complete taste and less heat. If you rather have the full strength, we have our Organic Ground Cayenne Peppers that packs quite a punch (Up to 50,000 SHU).
Chili powder gets its name for "chili con carne", a spicy meat stew that originated in either Mexico or southern Texas as it's often used to season it. The spice blend differs from one source to another, but it usually includes some mix of ground dried chiles, cayenne pepper, cumin, garlic powder, paprika, oregano, and onion powder.
Use chili powder anywhere you want to add a bit of a kick. It's commonly used in Latin American dishes like tacos or enchiladas. It also makes an excellent addition to chilis, stews, soups, meats, and beans.
Although it's a spice blend in itself, chili powder can also be used as an ingredient in other spice and seasoning blends, such as fajita seasoning or homemade taco seasoning. It's a great way to add flavor to snacks like roasted chickpeas or tortillas chips. Try mixing it with salt and adding it to the rim of your next margarita for some added heat.
This powder ranges from 1,000 to 3,000 Scoville Heat Units (SHU).
