FRESHLY BANNED INGREDIENTS

OUR LIST OF

NO ARTIFICIAL INGREDIENTS

There is nothing artificial about our food. We make delicious meals the old fashioned way, simply with all-natural ingredients.

NO HYDROGENATED OILS

We avoid using partially hydrogenated oils because they are chemically processed and contain large amounts of unhealthy trans fats.

NO REFINED SUGARS

We use sugar sparingly. The sugar we do use comes from only all- natural sources, such as honey, maple syrup and coconut sap.

OUR BANNED INGREDIENTS
