Algunos ingredientes, como las sales y las arcillas, no son productos agrícolas y no pueden certificarse como orgánicos.

Pero como somos una empresa orgánica certificada por el USDA, estamos obligados a presentar a nuestros inspectores orgánicos la documentación de que incluso nuestras sales, lodos y arcillas son de origen natural y cumplen con las normas orgánicas.

Todos nuestros azúcares son orgánicos y veganos (libres de carbón de huesos).
