One Degree Organic Foods Launches Veganic, Sprouted Cereal Line With 100 Percent Traceable Ingredients


ABBOTSFORD, BC--(Marketwired - Aug 9, 2013) - One Degree Organic Foods, a family-owned company committed to producing pure food with healthy ingredients, has launched a line of veganic, sprouted and Non-GMO Project verified cereals. The new cereals, with three gluten-free selections, are: Ancient Grain O's, Ancient Grain Flakes, Ancient Maize Flakes, Brown Rice Cacao Crisps and Brown Rice Crisps. All varieties are available now at select retailers in the U.S. and Canada.

"As we considered opportunities to expand our product offerings, cereal seemed a natural fit, sharing many of the same ingredients found in our breads, flours and seeds," said Danny Houghton, vice president of marketing and sales for One Degree Organic Foods. "Our goal is to provide healthy food with traceable ingredients so customers know what they are eating and understand the related benefits of each meal. One Degree Organic Foods' cereals are no exception. All ingredients are 100 percent veganic and traceable to their family farm of origin."

Every Ingredient Has a Story
One Degree Organic Foods' ingredients are sourced from family farms committed to sustainable, veganic methods. Using only organic, vegetable matter to cultivate seeds and grains, farmers retain the integrity and nutritional value of non-genetically modified ingredients.

In addition, with One Degree Organic Foods' traceability technology, consumers can track each ingredient to its origin, ensuring they are never more than one degree separated from partner growers and their stories. For easy tracking, every One Degree Organic Foods product is equipped with a QR code that can be scanned with a smartphone for immediate access to a detailed life story of each ingredient.
