Cob Foods FAQ
Straight answers to what our community asks most.
What exactly is sorghum?
Sorghum is an ancient supergrain that pops just like popcorn, except it’s tinier, tastier, and better for you than popcorn. It’s also got a softer hull so it’s sensitive gum safe (and toddler friendly as well). It’s also EXTREMELY eco-friendly - it’s a carbon neutral grain, is completely drought resistant, and only requires rain water!
Why aren't your products certified organic?
All of our ingredients are organic whenever possible. We found the tastiest sorghum and it happens to be at a TRANSITIONAL organic farm, which means they’re in the process of getting their organic certification, but it takes 3 years. However, our products have all won the Clean Label Project Purity Award and independent lab tests show no pesticide residue, heavy metals, or BPA.
Where are your products sourced and made?
All of our ingredients are from farms in the USA and our products and packaging are proudly made in the USA as well.
Are your products peanut & tree nut free? What about coconut, soy, & sesame?
All of our products are free from peanuts, tree nuts, coconut, soy, and sesame; however, our current facility also processes soy, dairy, and corn. We do a full allergen clean before each run.
How can I be sure that there is no corn in your food?
As a corn allergy mom, I feel you DEEPLY. I personally sourced all the ingredients and interrogated our suppliers like a detective to make sure that all ingredients were corn allergen free. For example, the dairy is all organic with no natural flavors or fortifications, and all salt is non-iodized. But everyone has a different sensitivity level so proceed accordingly if this is your first time trying the product.
