Exactly what is unmodified mean? Does it mean the product is free of sulfites which have been used to maintain the whites color of starch? Please hel

The label indicates all natural, but I don't know about any whitening agents. My package is covered with the potato starch, so I can't see everything the label says. All I know for sure is that Bob's Red Mill products are high quality and not likely to have any additives.

I believe, frustration free, means though extremely well wrapped (like double bubble wrap), it is easy enough to unpackage. Standard, means though well wrapped, there could be a remote possibility of damage. I have NEVER had any damage. luckily.

I didn't see anything on the label about 'raw'. It did say 'unmodified'-whatever that is, and gluten free.

It means that our old package merely stated surfactants, and that was not acceptable. Our current package lists ingredients, but our ranking has not been updated.

Hi I find it interesting that Amazon is sending this question to a customer instead of finding out from the source--the manufacturer! They claim in the description that it is 'raw' so we, as consumers, assume that might mean unheated. I would ask the company itself. I can tell you as someone who purchases it that I like it because it is natural! I do not want any chemicals on my skin, so this works!

The only ingredient listed is organic potatoes and the nutrient label has total carbs at 8 grams. All others are 0. I believe it is fair to say it is unmodified.

Sulfites are used as food preservatives and anti-clumping agents. Non-sulfited means that the product does not contain added sulfites, which is important for people with sulfite food sensitivity. It also means that it will clump a little bit.

No added sugar or oil. And yes, unsulphured. I thought it was a great deal too!

They just mean that they do not add any sugars, corn syrups, artificial sweeteners, flavors or preservatives. It is all natural sweeteners that come from the ingredients. Nothing additional. Here is a link http://smartypantsvitamins.com/kids-fiber-complete-with-no-sugar-added/

They are unsulphered and you are in for a delicious treat at a great price....nothing is added to these and you can order with confidence.

I noticed that too, but the main reason I buy this product is because it is unbromated, unbleached, fresh and high quality. Organic became buzz word just like "fat free", "all natural" or "star compliant", to the point I have seen bag of potatoes with label "fat free" affixed on it. (?hmmm). Wheat will not grow just from rain water - it needs fertilizer, hopefully natural one yet does not need deadly pesticides or being genetically enhanced like some grains. How about genetically altered soybean organic milk - yes it is all organic because no bug will even wants to seat on it now. Bottom like - beware of fine print and play of words as "natural flavoring" is actually one of approved names for MSG. To me the most important is that Bob's Red Mill offers fresh and natural grains. I purchase on regular basis sunflower seed, pumpkin seed and few other products from this company and so far never had any issues with quality, taste or freshness.

I do not represent the company in any way. Perhaps they mean there are no chemicals present or added other than those naturally occurring in nature...their raw materials? My .02.

The label lists it as non-homogenized, but makes no reference to pasteurization. The butter is heated in order to make ghee, which would likely pasteurize the product if it wasn't already.

I can't say 100%, but I think it is untreated. I can tell you it feels like bare wood to me. It doesn't have a chemical smell and I haven't tasted anything as a result of using it. Another reason I think it's unsealed: it will stain, which I kind of like (the sign of a well-used muddler).

I wrote Bob's Red Mill today (7 Oct. 2014) to ask why they no longer used the term "Aluminum Free" on their label. Here's the reply I received: Thank you for the inquiry. Bob's Red Mill packages an all natural baking soda mined from the earth. This is still the same product that we have always sold; naturally occurring pure bicarbonate of soda. Like most of our products that we sell, our baking soda is minimally processed (with water) and a product of nature, nothing added (including aluminum), nothing taken out. Recently we took the statement "aluminum free" off the label. The reason for taking "aluminum free" off the label is because we became aware that there can be naturally occurring trace elements of aluminum in our baking soda-likely due to the fact it comes out of the earth. The other reason for changing the label is that we are not aware of any company that adds aluminum to their baking soda these days. With this in mind, many customers and consumers then question who uses aluminum and confusion ensues. We felt omitting the term "aluminum free" will avoid any confusion or misleading claims with our customers. Please feel free to contact me if you have any more questions.
