U.S.-Grown Raw Sunflower Seeds Now Available from Multiple Organics

Through key partnerships with U.S. growers, however, Multiple Organics has been able to source these sought after seeds and bring them to organic manufacturers. As part of Multiple Organics’ Safety and Testing (MOST) program, these raw sunflower kernels are tested for food safety at a third-party microbiology lab prior to being released and processing is audited by a national food safety expert.
