Sulfites are chemical compounds that occur naturally in some foods and beverages, but are also added during conventional processing to:
o Preserve freshness
o Prevent spoilage
o Extend shelf life
o Maintain color and flavor in packaged foods
o Act as antioxidants and antimicrobial agents, helping to inhibit the growth of bacteria and molds. -
Are sulfites allowed in organic foods?
Foods labeled as “organic” cannot contain added sulfites. -
Are Your Products Certified Organic?
We’re proud to offer foods that are certified USDA Organic and Canada Organic. We go to great lengths to ensure full compliance. Part of the organic standards include:o Carefully sourcing ingredients from certified organic farms, where organic farming supports soil health, reduces pollution from synthetic fertilizers, and encourages biodiversity
o Avoiding prohibited substances (such as the use of pesticides, herbicides, and fertilizers) and synthetic additives
o Using ingredients that are not genetically modified
o Undergoing regular audits and inspections by accredited certification bodies
Organic certification is more than a label; it’s a reflection of our dedication to transparency, sustainability, and delivery of food you can trust.
