Allergen Information (Tap to open):
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 grated coconut (Fine) is a great way to always have coconut on hand when you need it. Grated coconut is also a dream ingredient as a topping on your favorite desert, for baking or just to munch on. Coconut meat is rich in several minerals, especially manganese and copper. It is also a good source of fiber.
What is desiccated coconut?
- Desiccated coconut is the grated and dehydrated coconut meat, which is mainly used in the bakery and confectionery.
- Desiccated coconut processing includes selection of nuts, husking, shelling, removing the testa (paring), washing, heating, disintegrating, drying, sieving and packaging. The fruit are de-husked in the field and transported. They are then split using a small hatchet or special knife to obtain a complete, undamaged ball. The outer brown testa around the ball is removed using a special knife. The pared kernels are then cut and the coconut water is removed. The pieces of endosperm are washed with fresh water to remove any remaining coconut water and other debris and to prevent discoloration. The material shredded, and dried, in which the moisture content is adjusted to 2.5–3.0%. After that the product is graded by size and packed.
