Is there sulfur in Made In Nature dried fruit?
Heck to the NO. We think nature nailed it when it comes to fruit, so we choose not to mess with perfection. Sulfur dioxide, on the other hand, makes a mockery of Mother Nature's best work by unnaturally preserving fruit's color and acting as a chemical drying agent. We prefer clean, untarnished flavor and food safety,thankyouverymuch.So long, sulfur.
What allergens are used in your facilities?
Our facility processes peanuts, tree nuts, wheat, milk, egg and soy. We do not have dedicated allergen-free production lines. However, we have strict controls in place for receiving, separation, scheduling and cleaning.

Why are Made In Nature Apricots brown instead of orange?
Our Made In Nature Apricots are bronze and beautiful because they aren't treated with sulfur dioxide. We keep the process bright and shiny by sun-drying each fruit to lock in the best possible flavor without the use of chemicals. Conventional dried apricots are sprayed with sulfur to preserve their bright orange color and act as a drying agent. We'd rather do it the natural way because if you ask us, clean, chemical-free flavor and food safety totally trump color. In fact, we think our dried apricots look perfect just the way they are. No fruit shaming here.
What's the white coating on your Dried Smyrna Figs, Bananas and Plums?
That's just nature being nature, baby. More specifically, those little white crystals are natural sugars that have been released from the fruit during the drying process.
Here's the more scientific version: our organic fruit continues to ripen and dry even after it's packaged, and during this time, natural sugars often make their way from the inside of the fruit to the outside, collecting on the surface. It's a totally normal and natural reaction, and it does not affect flavor or quality. In fact, it actually helps enhance the fruit's natural sweetness. Yum.
Where are Made In Nature products grown?
Ever heard the term “taste of place”? It basically describes foods that are particularly delicious when they come from a certain location with the ideal growing conditions. At Made In Nature, we search the world over for the highest quality produce from the places it grows best, like Turkey, Costa Rica, Mexico, Tunisia and the good ole U.S. of A.
Where are Made In Nature products made?
In our secret lair, of course. Just kidding. Our manufacturing facility is located in Fresno, California in the sun-soaked San Joaquin Valley
How are Made In Nature fruits dried?
Buckle up for a bonus round because you're about to get two answers for the ask of one! Part 1: Made In Nature Smyrna Figs, Apricots, Cranberries, Goji Berries, Golden Berries, Dates and Raisins are all dried naturally in the sun. Part 2: We dry the rest of our fruits using clean, warm air through a gentle process known as tunnel drying.
Why does my packaging look different than what is being shown online?
When we make changes to our packaging there can be a transition period during which the old packaging is still on store shelves. While our website reflects the most current product being manufactured, to ensure your safety please consult your packaging for the most accurate information of what’s inside that bag.
What is the shelf life of Made In Nature snacks?
It depends on the product, so the Best By date is going to be your best friend on this one. In general, the shelf life of one of our unopened products ranges from 8-12 months, and—quick tip—you can maximize the fresh factor of an open package by storing it in the refrigerator or freezer.
For products purchased on our website, we guarantee 45 days of shelf life from the date of your order.
I purchased a package that is puffed up/bloated. Why did this happen, and is it still safe to eat?
There are two things that can cause a bloated bag and neither of them are dangerous. The most common is simply that our organic dried fruits continue to ripen and dry even after being packaged. As they do, they release natural gasses, which can make the bag puff up like a little pillow. Rest assured though, this process does not affect the taste or quality of the fruit inside.
The other possibility is fermentation. Since Made in Nature products are preservative-free, higher-than-recommended temperatures can cause the fruit's moisture and sugars to begin fermenting, which again, releases natural gases. Whether the product warms up in the store, during transit or in your home, it is still safe to eat. It just may have a slightly fermented taste.
If you have any questions or concerns about inflation (the package kind, not the money kind), don't hesitate tocontact us.
Can I recycle your packaging?
Most of our bags are made of plastic #7, which can only be recycled at certain facilities. Give your local recycling center a call before you try. In other packaging news: from bags and boxes to packets and canisters, we're always on the lookout for packaging that will keep our products fresh, portable and affordable. We have our eyes set on compostable options, and hope to make that transition in the near future.
