Are there pestisides or chemicals used to make this or the cane which it came from? I don't care if its certified organic, only that it is organic.

The label has 'ORGANIC' in large letters as a banner on it. Not being the grower or processer I can only tell you it is good for my purposes.

The name includes the word "organic", so it appears the product is pure in the way you mean. We have used Plantation Blackstrap for 35 years. When we researched for the best blackstrap back then no one used the word organic, but our research revealed Plantation was not just lowest in sugar, concentrated in minerals but made without unwanted chemicals. I am missing one kidney and my spleen. Plantation Blackstrap has been critical in protecting my health.

Yes. This is USDA Certified Organic product. Quoting from USDA website - "Organic food is produced without using most conventional pesticides; fertilizers made with synthetic ingredients or sewage sludge; bioengineering; or ionizing radiation."

Great question! Though I have never called the company and questioned them directly, I believe it is formaldehyde free. You can go to their website and read about the company and their products. I always buy the Organic Grade B syrup.

The label says Organically grown with no chemicals fillers, preservatives or genetically modified organism's. Hope that helps answer your question.

It's a good question but the USDA seal carries no merit. The regulations for "USDA organic" are the same as for regular, pesticide-laced products. The truth is you don't know if it's organic. I researched the company and found that the administrators seem reputable. I trust in the character of people. If you need the USDA seal, find another product that bears that.

There is no warning or mention of lead anywhere on the label. It says it's grown organically in India on small family farms. Other than that, I can't vouch for it. There's a certain amount of trust involved in organic certified in another country. Do you know where the lead comes from?

<hi Eric not 100 percent sure but I don't believe so as it is organic and if it used a chemical it would no longer be organic. This might be something to double check with the creater of this product.

Renee:From what I have read, there are some organic pesticides made from castor oil and dish detergents. I don't know what the mixing ratios are though. A little searching on the internet may turn up some possibilities. Good Luck.Sterling

I checked the ingredients on my jar of bouillon and yes, there is cane sugar in it. The complete list of ingredients consists of: Roasted beef and natural juices, maltodextrin, salt, cane sugar, beef stock, beef fat, yeast extract, potato starch, celery concentrate, dried garlic, dried onion, caramel color, natural flavor. The ingredients are certified organic by QAI. I understand from health conscious friends that cane sugar is the best form of sugar. I feel that it is a good product and the taste is excellent. Hope this helps

I wish I knew the answer to that. But there is realy no way to be sure where it's coming from. You're better off buying the organic timaric spice and adding it to your food or daily drink. That's what I do. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

If it is not certified organic, then it is best NOT to buy from this company. Also, click on the "1 star" rating on Amazon. One customer who is very sensitive to pesticides is claiming that they think it is not organic, based on telltale headaches they got after drinking it. Whether that is a decent test or not is unknown, but No Certification = Not Organic in my book. The only exception that I make to this rule are local farmers who I know well and can go to their farm myself. Certification is costly, so I don't expect them go through it. Selling on Amazon....sorry, must have certification. If it is not certified organic, then it is best NOT to buy from this company. Also, click on the "1 star" rating on Amazon.

it's fully cooked. cooked canes are easier to find than uncooked ones. You might want to buy just the clay, if you wanted raw canes - i cant imagine shipping uncooked designs is easy. You can bake them with something else, but it might become brittle or crack.

The Honey that is harvested is Organically raised without pesticides. It has nothing to do with inorganic materials.

Unfortunately, all the answers miss your point, and I don't know how you can find the truth. I agree with your concerns about the ingredients, particularly with the history of some Chinese mfg providing products containing dangerous ingredients (to people as well as pets.)However, the same applies with many products on your store shelves "made in USA". We can thank our FDA, handmaiden to the food industry, far less effective than much of the EU, for that. I don't have an any more useful than the others :(
