Is Hexane used to extract the soy? Is that why they're not Organic? I avoid hexane.

The Soy Curls do not contain hexane as we make them from whole Non-GMO soybeans. Hexane is used to extract oil in some processes. Since we are not extracting the oil we are not using hexane, we just soak the soybeans in pure spring water and cook them. - Sam, Butler Foods www.butlerfoods.com

Well, I read in another review that the reviewer contacted the company and the company responded that there was no hexane used in production - just plain water. So maybe if you are still on the fence, consider giving Butler a call to confirm that info. 503-879-5005 the number from their website.

I'm afraid I don't know what hexene is. The label says for ingredients:Whole Non-GMO Soy Beans. Butler has it's own website. You may find your answer there. www.butlerfoods.com

Upon inspecting the label carefully, I did not find "soy" listed. These are some of the best vitamins I have taken so far and I have tried the pricey and the cheap. I have not been ill for the last year since taking the Alive.

From what I have read, in order for a product to have the official USDA 'Organic' seal, the company is unable to use any chemicals in production process in any form, which would also exclude petro chemical products for extracting the protein. I personally love this brand/product and use It all the time as a vegan protein supplement.

I first would like to state that Organic Traditions is a reputable company, that being said I usually just use these straight out of the bag, I store mine in the refrigerator to protect the delicate oil in them. I do not was my seeds and I have not sprouted these as of yet.

I have the same question, why is this only available in VERY VANILLA.. I only buy the very vanilla type because I have no other choice, but this is too sweet for me, too! Soy is healthy, but the sugar content in it? That makes me nervous.. I hope that the SILK company will start making the original -- or even the no sugar-added soymilk in tetrapacks, like this!

It does have hexane in it and also has carrageenan in the gel capsule. When I bought it I didn't know about this as it said vegetarian and I really didn't look closely at the ingredients, I am not going to use this anymore as carrageenan. It is the worse thing you can put in your stomach. It causes inflammation in your body which causes cancer and other diseases, I am glad that this question was asked.

Sorry, I ran out of these a few days ago and am waiting for my next shipment of them. I really liked them but didn't notice if there was organic on the package or not. I find that Bob's Red Mill will list in the description of an item if it is organic. It is not listed so it must not be!!

Whenever the almonds used are organic, I have found that it will indicate that on the label. If it dosn't say organic I always figure that they are not. I don't have a real preference to organic or not organic.

I would assume that, if Std. Process does use soy, the soy is non-GMO and is organic. This is only an assumption; The company their ownself would have to answer this question.

My label does not list the ingredients as non-gmo. The label picture in the listing is outdated. I assume this means "no," the soy isn't non-gmo anymore.

As I researched the essential depot sight I found that this oil is said to be cold pressed, usually cold pressing is hexane free, they were helpful with my soaping questions so if you contact them I am sure they would be happy to help.Their catch phrase is greener life essentials so I hope it would be hexane free.

So...the substance used is from human cells?!!! The website doesn't reveal the source for the phospholipids. It is most likely that they are derived from soy lecithin.

Okay, I contacted the company and this is what they said: "Our Jojoba oil is organic, but our facility is not certified USDA Organic. This is something we are working on, but it is a timely and costly process, so at the moment, all we can say is that it is organic. The plants are grown organically, and no chemicals are introduced in the extraction process, so the oil is 100% pure." I will take their word on it for this one. Especially since I've been reading through the reviews on this and people with sensitive skin are saying that it is pure. I have not tried the product yet, however. I hope this helps.

I am sorry, but I can't answer that question. I use it for my nails and hair, and I don't have any problem with soybean oil so I never questioned it.

Well, it doesn't say organic so my guess would be that it is conventional. Most products tend to brag if they went to the extra effort of avoiding pesticides. I would find a product that explicitly says organic if you are concerned about pesticide residues (they are found in over a quarter of peanut butters, so simply removing the shell is not enough).

The product information states they use hexane-free processing. I have been very pleased with this product.
