Our products are labeled in compliance with government regulations. We recognize the nine major allergens – eggs, fish, crustacean/shellfish, milk, peanuts, soy, tree nuts, wheat, and sesame – and they will be listed in the ingredient statement found on the package label. The best way to obtain allergen information is to check the ingredient statement on the package before consuming the product.
What is grass-fed beef and why is it important?
Cows that eat only grass and other foraged foods produce grass-fed beef. This method is better for each animal’s well-being as well as for land management when compared to conventional beef produced by mostly grain-fed cows. Many studies have shown grass-fed beef is also leaner and higher in vitamin D, omega-3s, and other key nutrients. Plus, many people also prefer its taste.
What does it mean when chicken and turkeys are raised without antibiotics?
Antibiotics are sometimes given to farm animals as a preventive measure, or to treat infections or prevent an illness from spreading. We only use chicken and turkey raised without antibiotics.
How much protein should my child eat every day?
It all depends on your child’s age, gender and weight, but a rule of thumb is that, for a child over age three, 10–30% of the calories that are eaten should come from protein. On the average, this means about 19 grams of protein every day for children aged 4–9, and 34 grams of protein for kids aged 9–13. During the teen years, boys need about 52 grams every day, and girls need about 46 grams every day.
