Please be assured that the safety of our employees and their families and the continuity of our supply are our top priorities.

We are following our government's recommendations to minimize the risk of infection and ensure the well-being of our employees and our community. Beyond the strict SQF health and safety standards we follow under normal operating conditions, we have implemented a plan to adapt to the current crisis with additional preventive safety measures. The Management team meets daily to react to new directives from authorities and adapt our measures as necessary.

- With daily manufacturing operations now the priority, we will operate our facility with only essential staff. All non-essential staff will work remotely until further notice to facilitate social distancing;

- Our facility is closed to all visitors and contractors. Only essential outside personnel will be permitted;

- Increased sanitation and hand washing protocols as well as increased frequency of the disinfection of primary installations and equipment between each work shift,

- New scheduling and shift protocols have been implemented to divide our production teams and ensure distancing on shift changes and breaks

- All business travel is suspended.

- Any employee, or a member of their direct family member with symptoms of coronavirus or who has traveled since March 12, 2020 will self-isolate / quarantine for at least 14 days.

All employees are aware of these new measures and are kept informed of the latest developments on a daily basis.

Despite the exceptional consumer traffic currently witnessed in stores, we are adapting to the increased demand and we currently foresee no risk to the continuity of supply both online and in store.

All our products may contain traces of nuts, sesame and soy, since these ingredients are present in our warehouse and on our production lines. Although we have diligent quality control measures to prevent cross contamination, we cannot guarantee the absence of traces of these allergens. PRANA cannot take responsibility in case of an allergic reaction. We understand that it becomes a personal decision to consume our products or not.

PRANA is committed in producing quality organic foods, only using the best fruits, nuts, seeds available. Since our products are organic and do not contain preservatives, we guarantee a shelf life of at least 3 months.

Our best before dates read as follow: year-month-date.

At PRANA, we are very sensitive to environmental issues and do our best to stay in the forefront of green innovation. Our packaging is currently not recyclable in most of North America, nor is it compostable. Although we are on the lookout for more eco-friendly packaging that also meets the needs of our products, there is no simple solution to this complex problem.

Our products are organic and free of preservatives. To guarantee freshness, we suggest storing your products in a cool, dry place. Make sure the bag is properly closed and kept away from any source of heat or light. Nuts and seeds will last longer if they are kept in a sealed bag in the refrigerator or the freezer, but they can also be kept for a few of months in your pantry. Chia seeds do not need to be refrigerated. For further information on proper storage, head over to the page of the product itself. During summertime, it is best to keep dried fruit, nuts and certain grains in an airtight container in the fridge so the heat doesn’t accelerate the fermentation process.

It’s normal to see, feel and taste a difference from one bag to another. Our products are organic, which means the crops have not been modified or tampered with. The final product will be the result of several factors such as quality of soil, climate, quality of air/ water, etc. All these factors will play an important role on how the final product will come out even if coming from the same place.

Stumbled upon a bitter almond? That's ok! You can encounter an almond that has a bitter taste, but be reassured it's not due to rancidity. The occasional bitterness is a natural characteristics of most varieties of Spanish almonds.

Like all living organisms, the almond tree has a defense mechanism that helps it survive in its environment but can sometimes cause a few of its almonds to develop a bitter taste. From time to time a bitter almond can surprise your taste buds and make your face squirm.

This being said, we at PRANA take the quality of our products very seriously and do not compromise on taste. We have a rigorous quality control set in place, which guarantees that less than 1% of our almonds might be bitter. It is important to know that bitter almonds are perfectly safe to eat despite their intense flavour. So go ahead and chomp on all our delicious almond snacks!

The consistency of our butter is very smooth and more liquid than store-bought nut butters. Nuts contained in it are carefully selected and roasted before transforming them into butter.

It is normal to find some browner spots on these nuts - it’s just the skin that hasn’t been completely removed during the shelling process.

Although the fruit is pitted, it is possible to find a pit or two in our bag of fruits. As the process of pitting is done automatically, there is a small chance you might find a pit in your bag. You will find a warning on these fruits printed on the bag and it is best to inspect the fruits before consuming.

There is no significant difference in taste and nutritional profile between white and black chia in the exception that black chia has a minimally superior content of antioxidants due to its colour. The white and the black chia might come from different countries. Both are organic and have the same texture and application.

Unlike flax seeds, whole chia doesn’t need to be ground to be digested. Make sure that you chew you chia well to get all the benefits. That being said chia, like any other seed, is always easier to digest when soaked. Whole chia will keep for 2 years in a pantry whereas ground chia will keep for 1 year in a cool and dark in a pantry in a well-sealed back and kept away from humidity. If you want to keep your ground chia longer, feel free to put it in your refrigerator. Ground chia is excellent as an egg substitute in your baked goods. Chia pudding can only be made with whole chia seeds. You can check out the Recipe section of our website for more inspiration.

Both types of chia seeds will contain the same benefits of the seeds, however the ProactivChia contains probiotics to contribute to healthy gut flora. Also, the ProactivChia must not be heated in any way because the live bacteria are not heat-resistant and you risk losing all the benefits of the probiotics. To learn more about ProactivChia, please refer to the product page.

During the manufacturing of the strain, cultures are required for development. The cultures we use are from soy.

Our Chocolate Bark does not contain peanuts and is produced in a peanut-free environment. However please know that PRANA is not a certified peanut-free company and therefore we cannot guarantee at 100% no trace of it.

Since the barks can have traces of dairy products, they cannot be certified kosher.

Our chocolate barks contain no milk or animal by-products as per PRANA’s values and mission. This being said, in the line of production there is milk chocolate and we and our producer do our best to properly clean the line to assure no cross contamination, but the possibility of traces does exist however it is very minimal.

The white on the chocolate is a common phenomenon in chocolate products, called blooming, that develops over time. It results from the migration and surface recrystallization of a portion of the sugar or a portion of the fat contained in the chocolate. The blooming may be due to exposure to a humid or cold environment which causes condensation, or to the presence of fatty ingredients in the chocolate such as nuts. The blooming effect in no way degrades the taste or nutritional qualities of the chocolate, only the visual aspect of it.

Canadian regulation does not currently allow us to call “chocolate” a product that contains ingredients other than cocoa liquor, cocoa butter, sugar, lecithin, vanilla, milk. The use of rice powder in the recipe of No Mylk'N, in order to offer a vegan chocolate made without milk to our consumers, does not allow us to call it chocolate on the packaging. Chocolatey is therefore the solution adopted by PRANA to deal with this regulation on chocolate, it does not mean the addition of aromas or other processed substances. At PRANA, we use only authentic and nutritious ingredients.

Saturated fats come from the cocoa butter. Not all saturated fats are harmful to heart health: it all depends on where they come from. Those contained in dark chocolate would be good for the heart because they are of vegetable source. Several studies show that if saturated fats increase bad cholesterol (LDL), they also increase good cholesterol (HDL), unlike unsaturated fats. Dark chocolate also contains polyphenols that, along with saturated fats, reduce cardiovascular disorders, especially by lowering blood pressure. And by combining dark chocolate with nuts, it's even better!

1 year.

For optimal conservation of the product, keep the product in a cool and dry place, well closed and protected from light. We recommend to keep it in the refrigerator during warmer periods because it contains nuts that can go rancid.

The product can be refrigerated and frozen provided the packaging is properly closed. Indeed the freezer and refrigerator can cause condensation that will affect the quality of the product if the packaging is not properly closed.

PRANA’s Chocolate Barks are randomly broken to preserve an artisanal character and so the size of the pieces will vary. Nevertheless, the pieces generally have a size varying from 2 to 7 cm.

Since PRANA’s Chocolate Barks are broken randomly, the pieces are of different sizes and it is difficult to say ax exact number of pieces per bag. Nevertheless, there are usually more than 10 pieces per bag.
