the percent by volume on the front label. We have
no such indication because our Regina vinegars do
not contain alcohol.

All Fruit?
A. The natural flavors are a combination of the different
fruit concentrates, fruit essences, extracts, and
natural essential oils. As the label states it is

A. We know plant tours are fun and educational. But
because of security, insurance and legal concerns
B&G Foods does not offer plant tours at any of
our locations.
Q. Do your products contain MSG?

Q. What is the difference between Brer Rabbit
Mild, Full and Blackstrap varieties?
A. Molasses is pure sugar cane juice.
After the cane is harvested and mashed the raw juices
are boiled to extract the sugar.
After the sugar is crystallized, the remaining boiled
syrup is first molasses. It is light colored, mild
and sweet because it retains some of the sugar. This
is Brer Rabbit Mild Flavor.
After the second boiling the molasses has a darker
color, more pronounced flavor but a little less sweet.
This is Brer Rabbit Full Flavor.
The third boiling produces blackstrap, which has
a somewhat strong bitter flavor. This is our Brer
Rabbit Blackstrap variety.
Q. Is Brer Rabbit Molasses Unsulphured?
A. Yes, unsulphured molasses is the finest quality.
It is made from the juice of sun ripened sugar cane
and the juice is clarified and concentrated. Sulphured
molasses is made from green sugar cane that has not
matured long enough and is treated with sulphur fumes
during the sugar extracting process.

Q. Do you have a gluten free product list?
A. Click here for
our current list.
Q. Do you have a gluten free list for Ortega
products?
A. Ortega has been following a strict labeling policy
with regard to any allergens in our foods and incoming
ingredients.
We have insisted that our suppliers notify us if
gluten is used in any of their ingredients and yet
is not declared on their labeling. Thus, we believe
we have uncovered any potential use of gluten containing
ingredients.
Therefore, any Ortega product is fully labeled for
any presence of gluten or gluten containing ingredients.
We find that this statement is much easier than our
trying to maintain a gluten free product list. |
