Where our Ingredients are Grown
Canada is the second largest producer in the world of oats and pulses. According to the FAO, Canada was responsible for 3.733 million tonnes of oats and 12.494 million tonnes of pulses (http://www.fao.org/faostat/en/#data/QC).
Avena Foods crop processing and milling facilities are located in the western prairie provinces, a major growing region for both Canadian oats and pulses.

extract and other similar malt-derived ingredients are ingredients derived from gluten-containing
grains that have not been processed to remove gluten and, therefore, cannot be used in foods that
bear “gluten-free” labeling."
