Is the wheat grown and harvested with out chemical ferilizers or herbisides like round-up?

This wheat is totally organic. It is also very good. We boil it for awhile in the mornings then add some butter and honey and eat it after it is tender. It is very filling and you feel like you can go bear hunting with a stick!

I don't actually know for sure but we have bought from them on several occasions and have been very pleased with our product. It is called "organic & non-gmo" so I think that means no chemicals.

It depends. It will kill a vegetable plant just like a weed, if you get any on the foliage. There are no remaining harmful chemicals lingering after use, like RoundUp.

Hi Amelia,There is no wheat in Revive phytoceramides whatsoever. The only place that wheat is mentioned is that "rice is superior to 350 mg of wheat ceramides" in our Amazon product description. You can be assured that our product is gluten free as stated and made from rice. If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to ask. Thank you!

For those below...Scotts is NOT owned by Monsanto, they are their distributor for Round-Up. Scott's fertilizers and lawn-care products are their own and are primarily developed in Marysville, Ohio - near where I have lived most of my life. And to my knowledge, their products do not involve any Genetic Modification (I am familiar with their processes and the ingredients they use).

Yes; Packaging says so and soy can be seen amidst the wheat. Great product by the way: Tabooli, pilaf, breads and muffins, etc.

Kelly, The product used to be rice derived but we moved to wheat because all of our customers gave feedback that it was more effective. I checked out the title and bullet points to confirm it was switched to wheat. I do see in fact the description still has 1 rice notation in it and I will update it ASAP... Thanks for pointing this out for me !

Sorry I'm not able to answer your question about the different kinds of wheat for baking, breads, pastries, etc. Nor do I have info about Organic Non GMO wheat.We use the Wheat Berries when we make home-made soups, stews, jambalaya, casserole dishes, etc. similarly to how we'd use rice, couscous, etc. The wheat berries add an amazing "crunchy" texture to our dishes, they're loaded with fiber, and they taste great :-D

This product is not labelled as 'organic.' or not genetically modified. Heck, I'm happy it's not made by General Mills. Don't you think we should worry more about the working conditions of the migrant workers who are slaving away to keep this stuff on our table? Moreover, it's just wheat germ milled by Bob and his migrant workers. A lot of Bob's products are certified as USDA Organic. The wheat germ is not one of them. But Bob appears to be a good guy, so you should buy it anyhow and hope for the best.

This is the response I got from the Red Oval Farms folks. They are sending me a coupon as reimbursement. Perhaps you can contact them as well. I bought my crackers from Kroger in Ohio, but it seems with all the comments that the distribution of this problem is not local. We appreciate you taking the time to visit us at http://www.snackworks.com/ and for letting us know about your experience. I'm sorry to hear that your RED OVAL FARMS Stoned Wheat Thins do not taste the same,and have more air in them. The differences you noted may be due to a change in the production facility and process in which we make the cracker. We have not reformulated the recipe, but we have changed the way we make the cracker. We will make sure our Quality team are aware of your comments, so they can address these issues with the production plant The problem you described sounds like the product was not properly stored during distribution. We take care at our manufacturing facilities to ensure that our products are stored at the correct temperature and time frame until we are able to distribute them. Once our products are in distribution, the storage is out of our control. If the product was exposed to excessive temperatures it could cause the problem you described. Again, I apologize for this experience. Thank you for your loyalty and we hope that your next experience is a good one. Adele Stapley Operations Manager

This is wheat. If you let it grow unchecked then you'll have a wheat field outside your door. Not necessarily a bad thing but it may not be what you wanted. Look at ornamental grasses at your local garden center instead for something better suited to your needs.

Standard process a-f betafood (0825) yes it does, it has defatted wheat germ.

No, roundup has been declared a human carcinogen by the state of California, the EPA, the World Health Organization, and several South American and European countries. Monsanto (the company that makes Roundup) has made several deadly chemicals over the years (DDT, Agent Orange) which they declared safe at the time, only to be proven wrong by legitimate third party testing. Roundup is no different. Look into weed torches for safe weed control that won't give you cancer, they are more effective than these chemicals anyway.

Roundup is non-specific. It kills/damages whatever it touches so be careful.

I'd try going to the Hudson website. However, be sure to ask if the pump is made to use the chemicals you are using. They told me that it is not intended to be used for herbicides like Roundup.

I don't know if there is an official answer, but I have read online you can, and I do myself, with no apparent ill effects. It's a good way to manage the grains when they grow so fast.

They say on the package that the gluten is taken out in the processing of the barley. Whether this is true or not I don't really know.

NO!!! They are produced in a factory that also has wheat AND the oats are NOT from a dedicated field. Most fields are rotated (e.g. oats one year, corn the next to maximize soil nutrients). In order for a product to be GF, the oats MUST be grown in a dedicated field (no crop rotation). Cross contamination between wheat and oats in shared fields is almost a given. Since oats in this product are grown in a 'shared' field it cannot be GF and almost certainly has trace amounts in it.
