Onesta Organics Products are Made with Care
We use only certified organic ingredients. Of those ingredients that aren”t organic-which include citric acid (which is certifiably natural non-GMO) and calcium carbonate-we use only minute quantities in some of our products. By using organic ingredients, we know our products are safer and healthier (i.e., more nutrients and no toxic residues) for your pet than conventional pet food products.
We use only human-grade ingredients, which are of higher quality than ‘feed-grade’ ingredients.
We rinse and sanitize our grains and seeds before we use them, making them safer for your pet. In most instances, we sprout our grains and seeds, which makes them especially healthy for your pet.
We use mostly fresh ingredients instead of powders, which are often imported from abroad (mostly from China). We wash and sanitize all produce and grind, pulp or mince these ingredients prior to use, which makes their constitutive nutrients easier to digest, especially for carnivorous species.
We source ingredients that are grown in the U.S.-preferably in California where our manufacturing facility is located. When certain ingredients aren”t available in the U.S., we try to find growers located in North America; if this isn”t possible, we use ingredients that are fair-trade and/”or sustainable.
We store our ingredients below room temperature, which keeps them fresh longer and preserves nutrients.
We use only filtered drinking water to assure that no toxic chemicals are introduced into your pet’s food during manufacturing.
We handcraft our products, which assures continuous visual inspection and quality assurance throughout the entire manufacturing process.
We only produce in lots that we can sell within a few weeks. Until our products are shipped, we store them under strictly controlled refrigeration. This assures that you receive fresh product for your pet; by fresh, we mean that all nutrients contained in the product are potent and bioactive.
We use only non-toxic detergents and sanitizers in our manufacturing facility to further assure absolute product safety and goodness.
