We are on a journey to make our products more sustainable, and every journey begins with the first few steps. We've started with our package. Back to Nature cartons are made of 100% recycled paperboard with at least 55% made from those items recycled by people like you. Thanks for doing your part! Our carton manufacturing facility reuses and recycles more than 95% of the solid wastes from the process. Plus, our cartons are printed with inks derived from vegetables - meaning these inks come from renewable resources, such as soy, flax and tree nuts.

At Back to Nature we are passionate about creating foods made with wholesome and nutritious grains, and the delicious flavors of nature without artificial preservatives, flavors or colors. We take great steps to use the highest quality ingredients in our products.

We recognize our responsibility goes beyond great taste and that quality starts at the farm. That is why we've changed our chocolate and it is now made with cocoa beans from Rainforest Alliance Certified� farms. These forested farms -- found in the lush, tropical lowlands of Ecuador and Cte d'Ivoire - provide habitat for ocelots, capuchin monkeys and thousands of other wildlife species. In addition to helping to protect the environment, Rainforest Alliance Certified farms also help ensure that cocoa farmers and their families have proper housing, education, access to medical care and safe working conditions.

Because most of the world's cocoa is grown on small, individually-owned farms and provides the economic mainstay for millions of families, the Rainforest Alliance gives cocoa farmers the tools they need to farm sustainably, the incentive to protect their lands from development and the ability to help raise their standard of living by farming more efficiently, improving the quality of their product and finding markets for their sustainably-grown cocoa.

Back to Nature is proud to use Rainforest Alliance Certified cocoa in our products because we believe in supporting farmers and in protecting the land in the regions from which we source the highest quality ingredients. Now, Back to Nature's Chocolate Chunk Cookies and Chocolate Delight Granola not only taste great, they are helping to do great things for others, too. So every time you make a purchase of one of these products, you're actually doing your part to help further make a difference. For more information, please visit www.rainforest-alliance.org.
