Product Questions

Is there much sodium in your products?

Due to the wide variety of products, the sodium content varies.  Please refer to the specific product on our web site for ingredients and nutritional information.

I have a great idea for a product.  Where can I send it?

We love to hear ideas from our customers!  You can send your ideas and requests via email to [email protected].

Are your products gluten-free?

We recognize that many consumers are going “gluten-free” and have reformulated a few of our products to meet this need.  However, due to the substantial cost to reformulate, label, etc. not ALL of our products are gluten free. Please see our Gluten Free chart for a comprehensive list of our gluten-free products.

Are your products all natural?

95% of our products are considered all natural. Due to the fact that there are no FDA guidelines that show what is considered all natural and not all natural, we use the same guidelines as a well-known natural foods retailer when determining if our products are all natural or not.

Are your products GMO free?

Currently, we are not a company that sources for GMO-free specific products. With over a 100 ingredients in house, such vendor re-sourcing based on inconclusive GMO studies would have a significant negative impact on product development, availability and our business overall. In the meantime, as part of our vendor compliance guidelines, we make every effort to identify GMO free products or ingredients, when available.

What happened to my favorite product?  Did you discontinue it?

In order to keep up with new ideas, we do need to occasionally discontinue products based on consumer demand.

I would love to carry your products in my retail store.  How would I go about becoming a wholesale customer?
