"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 mulling spices are synonymous with warmth and coziness. When the weather turns chilly or the holiday season approaches, there's nothing quite like wrapping your hands around a steaming mug of mulled cider or wine. It's a hug in a cup, providing a comforting sensation that soothes the soul.
Mulling spices are most often used to flavor red wine or cider. If you love the flavor and have extra on hand, think to yourself: If pumpkin spice can do it, mulling spice can do it too. Grind the mulling spices in a spice (or coffee) grinder, pulsing until finely ground. Then add a bit into waffle or pancake batters, hot chocolate, coffee, cookies, simple syrup for cocktails, or anywhere you'd use pumpkin spice.
Mulling spices have been around for centuries, probably as long as wine itself. In ancient Greece and Rome, they often spiced according to various recipes, in some cases to make lesser quality wines more palatable and in other cases simply because they enjoyed the warmth of a rich red wine with the comfort of exotic spices. It quickly rose in popularity and eventually became treasured for its Ayurvedic properties. Charles Dickens was known to enjoy mulled wine, hence its appearance in A Christmas Carol, a move that forever solidified our association of mulled wine with Christmas.
