Annie's Gluten-Free Rice Pasta & Cheddar FAQ's
What's the difference between Certified Organic and "Made with Organic" Annie's products?
Annie’s has two lines of product: Certified Organic and Made-with-Organic. As we grow the amount of certified organic products in our portfolio, we’re also mindful of providing affordable, non-GMO options to consumers who are not able or willing to pay premium prices for our certified organic products. Whenever possible, we provide both options to allow consumers to make the choice through clear labeling on our packaging. Organic refers to the way agricultural products are grown and processed, including a system of production, processing, distribution and sales. Instituted in 2002 by the USDA, the National Organic Standards make organic labeling consistent, clarifies different categories of organic foods, and provides assurance of product integrity. Products with at least 95% organic ingredients can use the USDA Certified Organic seal on packaging. We adhere to the following categories created by the USDA: - 100% Organic: all content (excluding water and salt) is certified organic - Certified Organic: at least 95% of content by weight (excluding water and salt) is organic - Made with Organic: If at least 70% of content is organic the main product panel may display the phrase, “Made with Organic Ingredients” followed by up to three specific ingredients - Products containing less than 70% organic content: may identify current content only on the product’s ingredient list.
What is natural flavor?
According to the FDA, natural flavorings are “derived from a spice, fruit or fruit juice, edible yeast, herb, bark, bud, root, leaf or similar plant material, meat, seafood, poultry, egg, milk product…whose significant function in food is flavoring rather than nutritional.” Please know that Annie’s never puts any of the top eight allergens under “natural flavors.”
How does Annie's make colored products - like orange mac & cheese or pink fruit snacks?
Annie’s uses all-natural colors that come from plants, like purple carrots, beets, and annatto—the seed of a tree that grows in South America. You’ll never find anything synthetic in Annie’s products.
Does Annie's use artificial flavor or colors?
Absolutely not! Our products contain no synthetic preservatives, artificial flavors or artificial colors. All our straight-from-nature ingredients are clearly marked on our labels.
