Responsible production is written into Burlap & Barrel's articles of incorporation, which specify "connecting farmers to high-value markets, helping them access a larger share of the product value chain, and establishing long-term, mutually-beneficial trade relationships." They pay 2-10x commodity prices, enabling their farmers to expand their businesses. Plus, a sample from every lot of every spice is tested by accredited 3rd-party laboratory, for microbiological pathogens and vectors, including E. coli, Salmonella, total/aerobic plate count, and yeast & mold. If necessary, they sterilize with steam sterilization or an ETO treatment. All of their spices exceed the safety requirements from the FDA and State of California. Burlap & Barrel test some of their products for heavy metals and pesticide residues.
