Frequently asked questions

It depends on the product. Vinegar brine items can keep over a month, sweet jams or chutneys can keep for many weeks, salsas, tomato sauces or low sugar jams or spreads should be eaten within a week or two. Why the differences? Once opened a canned product is likely exposed to small amounts of bacteria, yeasts or molds, how much depends on whether you’re using a clean knife and what’s floating around in the air. Then the food inside the jar affects the reproduction of these microorganisms; high-acidity, high sugar content or significant amounts of salt slow down the process.

  • All of our fresh fruit and vegetables are organic – they are from our farm and urban agriculture sites.
  • The vast majority of fruit used in our canned goods is harvested right here in Montreal, we love using urban fruit provided by les Fruits defendus! While the fruit isn’t organic, research thus far has proven that urban fruit is safe.
  • We are now using locally produced organic apple cider vinegar, organic fair-trade sugar, and organic lemon juice.
  • We use organic seasonings when available.
  • Most of our canned products contain over 95% organic ingredients. Definitely read the ingredient list if you’re curious, we’ll tell you what’s inside. We’ve chosen to only certify a few recipes for cost reasons. We welcome your feedback on this!
  • Frozen meals use a mix of organic and non-organic ingredients.
