Our products are printed with a “best by” date, which is only an indicator of peak flavor and texture. The “best by” date does not indicate when the product expires. In fact, our shelf-stable products are often perfectly safe and delicious far beyond the “best by” date. This is a confusing part of the food industry, but the best way to determine if a food is safe is through smell and sight.

We are proud to source our high-quality ingredients from farms and suppliers around the world. Our seeds are sourced from Asia, Europe, and the US. Our 9 Step Sourcing Process prioritizes safety and quality over geography.

Our sunflower, watermelon, and pumpkin seeds are certified organic. All of our ingredients are Non-GMO Project Verified. While we prioritize allergen safety and low risk of cross contamination when sourcing, we do use organic ingredients as often as possible. All organic ingredients are listed on the packaging and product pages.

Sunflower oil naturally rises to the top of the jar and we don’t include any additives or preservatives to our butters to prevent this from occurring. Specifically, we do not use any palm oil in our products to prevent separation. A quick stir will incorporate the oil back into the butter. 

Learn more about why we don't use palm oil.
