"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 monk fruit extract is a granulated extract "mogrosides" from monk fruit and used as a low calorie sweetener. Mogroside, creates a sweetness sensation 250 times stronger than sucrose.
Monk fruit also known as "luóhàn gu?" or Swingle fruit, is a small round fruit native to China. This perinatal vine "Siraitia grosvenorii" is only cultivated in China. The Guilin area (northeast China) offers optimal and unique growing environment for the plant due to it's subtropical mountains with elevation of 300 to 500 meters, abundant rainfall, and well drained moist soil.
What is the difference between Monk Fruit Extract vs Erythritol Powder with Monk Fruit?
- Our organic monk fruit extract is made up of 70% monk fruit and 30% erythritol. This makes it very sweet and the erythritol is needed to give a taste closer to sugar.
- Our organic erythritol powder with monk fruit is made up of 0.5% monk fruit and 99.5% erythritol. It is blended to be used as a 1:1 replacement for sugar.
