Do you use artificial flavours or colours in your products?

We do not use any artificial flavours or colours in our products

 

Why do the tins of your cocoa mixes appear to be ½ full?

We fill our tins with the product mix to about the ¾ full mark.  The net weights of the tins are 400 grams (as stated on the label). However due to the extra heavy weight of our Dark Chocolate Cocoa it settles down significantly over time and the tin may appear to be half full. This does not change the weight but is the nature of heavy ingredients such as dark chocolate cocoa. The packaging fill size is standard practice.

 

Can I add any milk products to the preparation?

Absolutely.  You can add any milk or milk substitute products when preparing our pancake or cocoa mix drink products.


Where can I find the expiration date on your products?

On the bottom of our cartons/tins.

I noticed that your Protein Packed pancake has lupin flour and pea protein. Since these ingredients are related to peanuts and therefore can be allergenic to individuals with peanut allergies, what process do you follow to ensure that there is no cross contamination to your other products?

Our facilities are BRC certified for Global Food Safety Initiative. We follow strict Good Manufacturing Policies and HACCP regulations.  We comply with all CFIA and FDA regulations. All of these certifications are the highest standards in the food industry to protect food safety and cross contamination. Although we are not required by government regulations to have any warning about Lupin flour on our packaging (as it is not a declared allergen) we have added it to our Protein packaging as Lupin flour is one of the main ingredients in our product. As for our other pancake products, we did not add the Lupin flour warning to these products since the production of our Protein pancake is in a special segregated area.

 

I suffer from a severe nut allergy, can you guarantee that there are no nuts in your products or facility?

Even though our products do not contain nuts, anyone with ‘severe allergies’ should be aware that our facilities are not ‘certified nut free’ and therefore we highly recommend that you do not use our products. 

 

Do you use iodized salt in your pancakes?

Yes, we do.
