We take your health and safety very seriously. If you have any allergen inquiries please Contact Us.
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 wheat grass powder is packed with a powerful combination of nutrients that make it extremely useful. Wheatgrass has antioxidant, antibacterial, and anti-inflammatory properties.
What is Wheat Grass?
- Wheatgrass is the young grass of the wheat plant, "Triticum aestivum". It grows in temperate regions throughout Europe and the United States and can live indoors or outdoors.
- At this stage of growth, wheat has not yet developed gluten so wheatgrass is gluten-free.
What is the difference between Wheat Grass Powder & Wheat Grass Juice Powder?
- As much as their names are alike, they are very different products.
- Wheat Grass Powder is made by dehydrating wheat grass and grinding it into a powder. It contains all the nutrients of wheat grass and is full of fiber! It does not dissolve in water but will rather stay in suspension.
- Wheat Grass Juice Powder is made by pressing wheat grass until all the juice comes out. The juice is then dehydrated into a powder. It contains much less nutrients than wheat grass powder and typically has no fiber. It dissolves very well in water.
Simple Wheatgrass Juice Recipe:
- In a tall glass filled with equal parts water and apple juice add 1 tea spoon of organic wheat grass powder, mix and enjoy!
- The apple juice is used to cut out the grassy taste of the wheatgrass. You can just mix it with water if you don't mind the flavor or pineapple juice works well too.
