I understood that statement to mean the goose feathers & down are treated with a solution that protects against bacteria etc. So yes, the fill is goose feathers & down. We love our down pad. One of the best items I have ever purchased. We flip it often & cover it with a padded mattress cover. Hope this helps!

There are preservatives in it also there is non'toxic food coloring used. I know this brand and Homestead are two major brands that I use and my birds are attracted to it and I fill my feeders up everyday. I have alot of hummingbirds and I have 9 feeders out some hold as much as 32 ozs. I have found that they are particular on what they eat and that's why this brand or homestead. I have used other brands but have to add sugar to get them to drink them. These alone are fine. They come back year after year and I have been feeding them for over 10 years.

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 purchased mine less than a year ago, I purchased with the ad/idea it is 'chemical/toxin' free. the filling is pure 100% kapok fibers. Also, I believe 'flame retardants' are or are in the process of being banned. Here is the co. online that filled my order from the pillow product tag, Bean Product co. BTW, great pillow well worth it the best I've used to date, better than poly fill. http://www.beanproducts.com/mm5/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=001&Product_Code=7ZFKAPOK&Category_Code=Products_All

Check the back of the package. I cannot tell you about the duck treats because I have already finished that bag but I also bought a bag of Chicken Jerky Treats that came from the same manufacturer and on that bag it says that the chickens are American raised.

My guess is that it's because they are natural products. When products are chemically processed, the color, smell, texture, etc. is regulated to look exactly the same every time. Not the case with products that are natural and minimally manipulated.

I wish I knew the answer to that. But there is realy no way to be sure where it's coming from. You're better off buying the organic timaric spice and adding it to your food or daily drink. That's what I do. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

I don't think that is true. It had a distinct smell to it, but not "moldy". Shortly after it was able to air out properly, which it needs time to do for full "inflation", it didn't smell at all. Nor did I notice a "film". It is micro-suede so it has a unique texture, but no film. Whoever may have made that claim was more than likely just an unfortunate case.

The cured product is the same color as dark brown sugar. It will fill small voids but it is not a filler unless mixed with sawdust.

I've just started using this product. My first order was the 2-pound bag. Since I was baking for Christmas, I used it up very quickly, within 10 days. I didn't keep it in the refrigerator and it seemed fine. My 5-pound bag arrived yesterday. I wasn't planning to refrigerate it, but maybe I should. When nuts are whole (not ground into powder), all the nuts except walnuts are fine at room temperature. Walnuts go rancid much more easily and should be kept in the fridge. Whole wheat flour also goes rancid easily, and I have always kept it refrigerated. I transfer the flour into quart-sized canning jars first. I've just started using this product.

Hello Sarah, this is an organic product, meaning done with natural ingredients. That's why the description its correct.

I planted these seeds for my animals to eat. They sprouted and grew well. I guess you could blend them, but they are dry. I see somebody else replied that they came with mold on them. Mine were dry with no mold, but if theirs had mold, then I would say no way should you blend them. Yuck!

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.

if it has the USDA Organic seal on it then I trust it because to have that seal, you have to go through a pretty strict application process. The term "Organic" is legally defined and contrary to what the other poster said, cannot be "watered down" by big companies. The seal will tell you who certified it as organic. USDA Organic is as good as it gets, but I appreciate that they went through both the Oregon Tilth and USDA certification processes. This is why I chose this product over the others. On the other hand, if you see the word "natural," that has no legal meaning and can be bandied about by big companies as much as they want. if it has the USDA Organic seal on it then I trust it because to have that seal, you have to go through a pretty strict application process.

It is a solid mold of a resin or plastic. It is not brittle, but not pliable like a rubber duck.

I won't say "unlimited," but it's very long. These are fully dried fish flakes, and so long as you keep them in a tight package to keep moisture out (or live in a very dry area), they seem to last and last. I use them as a pet treat, and when I buy a big package, I use it quite slowly. I've never noticed any mold or deterioration.
