Is there any verification about where it actually comes from? Packaging? Everyone says that it is raw and organic - but how do you know?

About the only thing I can help you with is that there is a label that says it is imported from Ghana.

That question is best asked of LifeTime. It does not say "Raw" on packaging. HTH

Hi Sargoli, thank you for your question, it's an important one. It's easy for anyone to claim to be organic, especially online. Our supplier is certified organic, however we can't display the certified organic logo until our product labelling goes through the same process. We just launched this product and so are in the process of getting the certification, and expect to have that within the next month. We can send you the certification from our supplier if you would like that assurance, until we have ours on the package. Thank-you again for your question, I hope you'll give our product a try. - Gerry UPDATE Mar 26, 2014: being new to the organic certification process, naive us discovered there is a mountain trail of paperwork and steps to follow. Who knew? This is going to take a few more months still, and much time, unfortunately. Double discouraging given the supplier is already certified, makes one wonder the value in these detailed processes.

On the bag it says it's all natural & certified organic by QAI. Hope that helps.

I looked at the jar and they don't list where it comes from and the only refrence to organic is the name of the company "organicsoverseas.com". Maybe their web site might have some answers.

I don't know what the vendor they use, but all I know is I purchased the product & I am a raw foodist & this stuff is some of the best cacao that I have ever had & I for one will order more. The pound that I got I have had for a year & still fresh & still taste wonderful in just about everything. There is nothing but what they say in it. I trust them. There's more true organics coming from foreign country's then here in the USA & they will lie to you & tell you that these people are shipping in tainted products, but most of the tainted products that I have ever had was from my own country which is the USA. I purchase raw organic herbs from all over the world & this company has a wonderful fresh raw organic cacao powder that has nothing in it, but what it is suppose to & that is cacao, no sugar, no fillers, no additives, no anti caking. I love it!

To tell the truth I don't know. I mainly ordered it because it is Organic. I've already finished one bottle and was so impressed that I just purchased 2 more. It lasted me about a month or so.

Local producers here in WV warm honey to around body temp to package it. I can't swear it is totally raw, but it appears to be heated some for packaging. We love its flavor. I have one bottle that has crystalized just like what I buy from my neighbor does.

No place on the container mentions that is organic. So you are correct. It is not organic.

Label states 100% naturally derived. 72% organic. I took a picture of the label but I can't post it from my phone. Hope this helps!

This honey does not specifically say it is organic. It does say " harvested by healthy bees from eco friendly diverse regions" and it is unfiltered, unprocessed and raw. It is a wonderful honey. Honestly, I am not sure you can get truly organic unless you go with the Canadian honey I bought before that was harvested way out in the wilds, away from farms.

Okay, I contacted the company and this is what they said: "Our Jojoba oil is organic, but our facility is not certified USDA Organic. This is something we are working on, but it is a timely and costly process, so at the moment, all we can say is that it is organic. The plants are grown organically, and no chemicals are introduced in the extraction process, so the oil is 100% pure."I will take their word on it for this one. Especially since I've been reading through the reviews on this and people with sensitive skin are saying that it is pure. I have not tried the product yet, however. I hope this helps.

Its definitely 100% raw and natural Alice. Beware other sellers claiming their Yacon Syrup is organic when its not actually 'USDA Organic'... :)Best Regards, James - Nutrapuris

The label says it's 100% Pure, and 100% Natural. There's nothing on the label about it being organic.
