"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 lemon peel granules is also known as lemon zest. When using lemon peel granules instead of fresh lemon zest, remember to use 1/3 for which the recipe calls. If it calls for a tablespoon, use 1 teaspoon, because dried zest has a very concentrated lemon flavor. Granulated lemon zest mixed with cheese is one way to lighten a dish, with this fresh citrus flavor and aroma.
Great for use in baking recipes like cakes, muffins, and scones. It is best to let it rehydrate before use in baking. Lemon zest is also good for use in marinades and rubs, to flavor craft beers, as a garnish for a pop of color or in soaps and other cosmetic applications.
Our lemon zest granules pairs well with other spices in many meat and vegetable dishes. For chicken and fish, cook lemon zest with rosemary, parsley, and chives for a predictable pleaser. Vegetables love garlic, chives, lemon zest, and thyme, either sautéed or in a roasting pan, releasing pungent and aromatic citrus notes for hours. Additionally, a simple dry rub for beef short ribs just combines lemon peel granules, chives, and chicken stock.
