Ethical Sourcing Logo

Ethical Sourcing

Our palm oil is certified Identity Preserved (IP) (RSPO) by the Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil. 


This means suppliers can trace the oil's origin to the exact plantation, which must follow strict guidelines that prevent deforestation & promote biodiversity.


RSPO reduces fertiliser use, fosters fair treatment of workers & boosts local community involvement.

Testing for Gluten & Allergens

  • Our Guarantee
  • How We Test
  • GMOs

Every ingredient is quarantined at our bakery until it passes our stringent in-house lab testing protocols.


For gluten, we guarantee less than 5 parts per million (that’s even better than the 20 parts per million standard set by the CFIA and the FDA to claim ‘gluten-free’). 5 parts per million is tiny. Imagine 5 pennies in a stack of ten thousand dollars!

Stack of pennies
Our food scientists test: 
  • New ingredients using high sensitivity lab tests for gluten,  dairy, peanuts, tree nuts and soy.
  • Existing ingredients based on an assessment of risk.
  • Ingredients spot-checked using rapid-test kits.
  • Products checked daily for quality. 
  • Products tested for allergens throughout the year.

    Our products are also tested by accredited labs to verify our in-house testing.
Petri dish testing

Kinnikinnick has been removing genetically modified (GM) ingredients from our products for years. Our packaging lists non GMO ingredients with a *. If ingredients don't have the * designation, it's because there are no approved GM versions of that ingredient, (rice, cane sugar etc.). As of Jan 2022 we cannot guarantee canola oil is free from GMOs due to supply chain issues. 


Read more about GMO's at the bottom of this page. 

Spilt rice

Eggs

Egg whites are in our gluten-free English Muffins, (NOT Traditional English Muffins), Vanilla Wafers and Ginger Snaps. Donuts and Muffins contain whole eggs. 
Check our free from egg range.

We're in the process of taking eggs out from most of our range. 

What does May Contain: egg mean? Hans Jorgensen, Food Services Manager explains.


"May contain: egg" means that although that product does not contain any egg ingredients, it is produced in a facility where egg ingredients are used in other products. 

Ingredients and allergens are listed for all products so you're free from risk & worry sticking to your diet.

Spoon of oats

To oat or not?

Although oats do NOT naturally contain gluten, cross-contamination with other grains can happen when seeding the crop, harvesting and during production. Because some people can't tolerate oats, we never use them so everyone can enjoy our products.


A Health Canada review in 2015 concludes "limiting daily consumption of gluten-free oats is not required". For more information see Celiac Disease and Gluten Free Claims on Uncontaminated Oats.

GMO

We've been listening to you!

Kinnikinnick has been removing genetically modified (GM) ingredients from our product line for the last several years. Our packaging lists non GM ingredients with a *.



As of Jan 2022 we temporarily cannot guarantee canola oil is free from GMOs due to supply chain issues.

Please remember many of our ingredients are not * designated because there are no approved GM versions of that ingredient (rice, cane sugar, palm oil etc) so they are by definition non GM.

Start shopping!


We're Committed to You


Guaranteeing free from GM is a huge and difficult undertaking given the other restrictions we already have on our supply chain (free from gluten, dairy, peanuts, tree nuts, soy and kosher to boot). We use a lot of  specialized ingredients and finding substitutes in the quantities we need can be very problematic. But we're committed to providing the safest ingredients for our customers, so it's worth the extra effort.
