When it comes to food, we all may have different ideas about what is natural. We want to share with you our Natural Standard so that you can be better informed when choosing our products. We believe that an ingredient is natural if it exists in nature without human interference and has been extracted from plant material unchanged or derived from plant material through biological processes, such as fermentation and or the use of enzymes. These biological processes occur in nature but they may not be identical to the way in which a particular ingredient is created in nature. 
We do not believe that the amount of processing that an ingredient undergoes changes whether an ingredient may be called natural and is sometimes necessary for product safety, uniformity, and quality assurance. *For more information about our ingredients call 888.978.7828.
