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.

This Cajun spice rub is a go to seasoning blend for meats, especially when it comes to grilling.
What is a rub?
- A rub is a mix of various spices, seasonings and flavoring ingredients applied directly to the outside of raw meat, poultry or seafood before cooking. The rub forms a coating on food and is used to provide flavor and develop texture. A great rub can easily transform a plain piece of meat from boring and bland to outstanding and flavorful!
- Rubs can be dry or wet. A dry rub is made of a blend of spices and seasonings, without any wet ingredients; whereas a wet rub includes some type of liquid flavoring ingredients.
Why dry rubs are best?
- While there is nothing wrong with wet rubs, dry rubs have a couple advantages:
- Perfect sear: Dry rubs don't add any additional moisture to the outside of meat. Moisture on the surface of meat needs to evaporate before any sear can develop. Therefore, dry rubs are a faster way to develop a beautifully caramelized crust on a piece of meat.
- Complex flavor: You can still incorporate a liquid element, such as a glaze or BBQ sauce, during the last few minutes of cooking! By layering a dry rub with a wet sauce or glaze you can achieve a more complex flavor – meaning, meat with a well-seasoned, caramelized exterior and a concentrated, saucy finish.
