The following material is for basic informational purposes and refers to the food/ingredient itself, and does not include when it may be used in recipes, processed foods, or in potential cross-contamination situations. Always read labels carefully, ask questions, and refer to a medical professional, nutritionist, or a product’s or food’s manufacturer for further clarification on ingredients and manufacturing practices.
