I've added it to their food and all seemed okay. I do raw and when I don't feel like doing fresh veggies and fruit I use this product. Dogs have been on raw a long time and this is great method for me. I grind the food too because it is convenient for me to serve them in bowls.

I have not seen a separate label that you're referring to. It definitely says raw, unpasteurized, etc. on the jar label. The fact that it's pretty solid tells me that it has not been processed. That's all I can tell you. :-)

Raw is apparently not processed, but pure. Any mixes I understand are processed.

Raw yacon syrup has not been heated above 118 degrees, keeping all the vital enzymes intact. :)

Hi Nicole, the description on the jar states that it is raw and unpasteurized. I checked out wedderspoon.com for you and they have no more information posted. Maybe you can contact them directly. The honey is wonderful!

Don't buy! It is raw food not oil. I made the same mistake. Ate some and threw away 99 percent off it. It is not oil.

A refined butter is treated to remove more "impurities".The title of this product claims "raw" but I do not believe that is really the case for the extremely grainy product I received.

Chia is inherently raw - never heated. It is also grown on land that is in the process of organic certification (actually already has it) although we are still going through necessary steps to produce bags and certified facilities to package it. The chia is organic, and the certification for the actual bag, along with the certifying agency will appear on inventory in the next few weeks.

Disposed all info that came with, so not 100% sure. It is food grade, and I do not use with anything hot. Am very happy with its functionality. Sorry I cannot be more specific.

don't really understand what you mean by "raw". It's a very fine powder that reminds me of cornstarch. I've read that it's totally different than potato "flour" tho......

Nothing on the package about being Dutch processed. Label states "...processed at low temperatures..." which qualifies it as raw.

Hey there! Well, from my research, it is totally raw; that means it is natural, not heated above 118 degrees Fahrenheit, and not processed. You are correct, though, that alkali processed (also called Dutch processed) cacao/cocoa does destroy most of the incredible health benefits of this superfood! (for more info, check out these articles: http://www.life-enhancement.com/magazine/article/2798-effect-of-treating-cocoa-with-alkali-the-dutching-process ; http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/18710243)

You are correct. The label does not say "raw". I have assumed because it is unfiltered and uncooked that it is raw. Sorry I cannot be more helpful.
