Our food policy strictly prohibits the use of hydrogenated fats and high fructose corn syrup in any of our products. We also refrain from using bleached or bromated flour, as well as any synthetic nitrates or nitrites.

Hydrogenated fats and high fructose corn syrup are commonly found in processed foods, but we believe these ingredients can have negative health consequences. Hydrogenated fats, in particular, have been linked to an increased risk of heart disease and other cardiovascular issues. Instead, we opt for healthier, natural fats that provide essential nutrients without the harmful effects.

Similarly, we avoid the use of bleached or bromated flour in our recipes. Bleached flour has undergone a chemical process that removes the natural vitamins and minerals, while bromated flour contains potassium bromate, a food additive that has been banned in several countries due to potential carcinogenic properties. We believe in using whole, unprocessed grains to ensure our products are as nutritious as possible.

Synthetic nitrates and nitrites are often added to processed meats, such as bacon and sausages, to preserve color and enhance flavor. However, these compounds have been linked to an increased risk of certain types of cancer. Instead, we rely on natural curing methods and spices to achieve the desired taste and appearance in our meat products.

By eliminating these questionable ingredients from our food, we aim to provide our customers with healthier, more wholesome options. We are committed to using only the highest-quality, natural ingredients in our products, without compromising on taste or convenience.

This comprehensive food policy reflects our dedication to promoting well-being and supporting a sustainable, ethical food system. We believe that by making informed choices about the ingredients we use, we can empower our customers to make healthier decisions for themselves and their families.
