Bob's Red Mill Organic Products
Each product with the USDA Organic symbol has completed a rigorous certification process to ensure its compliance with the National Organic Program (NOP). The NOP protects the integrity of the USDA organic standards, from farm to market, around the world. The organic label means that the product was grown without synthetic fertilizers or irradiation, and that genetic engineering may not be used. In addition, organic operations must maintain or enhance soil and water quality while also conserving wetlands, woodlands, and wildlife to be in accordance with USDA organic regulations.Shop Organic Flours, Grains & More
Our Allergen Control and Awareness
All of our facilities have established allergen control and awareness programs. These strict guidelines and procedures are in place to ensure we are providing nutritious, safe food for those with allergies. All Bob's Red Mill products that contain any of the FDA's eight major food allergens (milk, egg, fish, crustacean shellfish, tree nuts, wheat, peanuts, soybeans) will be clearly declared on the label.How we do Gluten Free
We want the very best gluten free flours, baking mixes, cereals, and oatmeals to be available to our friends and family on gluten free diets. With you in mind, we source our gluten free grains and other products from farmers who are likewise dedicated to providing safe, gluten free goodness to you and your family. We adhere to a strict threshold of less than 20 parts per million (ppm) of gluten for all of our labeled gluten free products.Shop Gluten Free Products
Through the years we’ve learned that it takes dedication and some innovative thinking to ensure a truly gluten free product. We built a dedicated and completely separate Gluten Free Facility with specialized equipment to ensure our gluten free products maintain their purity. Only gluten free products are milled, mixed, and packaged in this facility and our machinery is never exposed to non-gluten free products.
We test every incoming delivery of product using the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) test - ensuring that every product is less than 20 ppm of gluten. Product received at the mill is tested upon arrival and then placed on hold until results are given. After we receive confirmed results that the product tests below 20 ppm it is only then accepted into our dedicated Gluten Free Facility. In addition to testing upon arrival, we test product during processing and after processing, holding each time until results are given. We value your health and trust in our gluten free products!
Beginning in 2019, we also offer some products that are certified gluten free by the Gluten-Free Certification Organization, a branch of the Gluten Intolerance Group. You can identify these select products by the GFCO logo on the product packages. Other Bob’s Red Mill gluten free products will continue to be tested and confirmed gluten free per our strict gluten free protocols. You can identify these products by the red GF logo and the gluten free testing statement on the product packages.
Our commitment to quality begins at the source but extends into your kitchen and beyond. We thank you for trusting us with your health.

I have been researching a new protein powder to add to my smoothies. I have read how soy protein utilizes Hexane in its manufacturing process, so I’d like to avoid it. I came across Bob’s Red Mill Pea Protein powder. It sounds like a great option for me because it doesn’t contain any additional unwanted ingredients or flavors.
In my hunt I also found another protein powder from another brand, Paradise Herbs ORAC-Energy Protein & Greens, Original Unflavored 16 oz. I chose this variety because of the added greens and it was on sale. However, upon receiving the item, I noticed a Proposition 65 Warning on the back describing how the lead from the soil contaminated some of the plants in the protein powder. However, I did further research on lead toxicity in crops and from what I understood is that only a trivial amount, if any, should be present normally. If there’s a higher level of lead toxicity, then there are other underlying problems that need be addressed.
Now for my questions. Does Bob’s Red Mill Pea Protein Powder contain traces of lead? Does it have a Proposition 65 Warning of which I should aware?
I look forward to for your assistance.
Thank you.
The flushing of product is a part of the Bob's Red Mill Allergen Program. It's common practice for dry facilities like ours but is not enforced by the FDA or any other regulatory agency. It is a step we at Bob's Red Mill do to help ensure the product changeovers are completed in a safe manner and to prevent cross contamination.
I have an allergy to almonds. I am interested in trying your cornmeal. What all is done to ensure there is no cross contamination? Thank you
The facility follows Good Manufacturing Practices (GMPs) and follows allergen control strategies to minimize the potential cross contact of food allergens. These practices include, but are not limited to: HACCP training, separation of like materials, and sanitation. Despite these precautions, we are unable to guarantee that cross-contact has not occurred because of airborne and proximity issues and because our products run on shared production lines.
Our Gluten Free Facility, where our Gluten Free products (like Organic Gluten Free Rolled Oats) are processed and packaged, processes almonds, hazelnuts, cashews, coconut, macadamia nuts, soy, oats, sesame seeds, and corn ingredients – it is peanut free.

And I have noticed prop warning on organic rye flour. Assuming you regularly check levels of lead and cadmium in that product, could you give a link or provide a document for the recent test results?
