Organic Brazil Nuts by Now Foods - 10 oz Bag

A: Thank you for your inquiry. Over 900 chemicals have been listed under California Prop 65 as carcinogens or reproductive toxicants, or both. Examples of such chemicals include cadmium, mercury, and lead. Certain listed chemicals like lead are widely distributed throughout the environment in air, soil, water, and rocks. As a result, these types of chemicals are often naturally found in commonly eaten foods, even though these chemicals are not intentionally added. All foods naturally contain some amount of heavy metals from the earth. NOW’s extremely sensitive analytical instruments can detect parts-per-billion (nanograms per gram) levels, so we can’t claim any product to be 100 percent free of all heavy metals. All of our ingredients and blends are screened for heavy metals to ensure that they meet our strict specifications for safety and quality. Where appropriate, we label items sold to customers and retailers in the State of California with Prop 65 warnings to ensure compliance with Prop 65.

A: Thank you for your inquiry. No, it does not contain whole nuts. We do sell another product that contains only raw, whole, unsalted Brazil nuts.

A: Thank you for your inquiry. This product contains a “Best By” date which refers to the date recommended that you use the product by for best physical and/or sensory quality. It is not an expiration date, but rather the date by which NOW Foods recommends consumption. Always refer to the product label first for any special storage conditions. Generally speaking, cool and dry conditions are best; and refrigeration can extend product life. Hot and/or humid conditions, such as those found in bathrooms and kitchens, may shorten product life. Unfortunately, we cannot relay the Best By date of an individual order. Regards, NOW
