Sliced bread, flour tortillas, a muffin and a jar of natural preservative powder with rowanberries

The same organic acids, from nature

Synthetic preservatives work, but their names on the label cost brands shelf space. Our preservatives deliver the same organic acids that make propionate and sorbate effective, propionic acid and sorbic acid, from cultured wheat flour and rowanberry.

Every product is Carbon-14 verified biobased and made in an FSSC 22000 certified plant.
