Testing Transparency: How We Ensure Quality and Safety of One Degree Oats

At One Degree Organic Foods, our commitment to total food transparency begins with knowing the farmers, co-ops, and processors who make and grow the ingredients we use.

But there is more to transparency than simply making sure every ingredient we source for our family-friendly foods meets the highest standards of organic, plant-based, and sustainable farming practices.

Earning your trust does not end with the relationships we build with our farmer partners. Or even with One Degree Organics’ source code technology that lets you trace every ingredient and meet the farmers who grew them.

We also use a rigorous collection of third-party certifications and quality assurance testing throughout our entire production process—from the moment our clean, organic ingredients arrive at our facilities, all the way to the packaged oats we ship to your favorite store.

Why? Because we know you care as much about the quality and safety of the foods you feed your family as we do.

Glyphosate: BioChecked Non Glyphosate Certified

You cannot be certified organic and use glyphosate on your farm. But despite having organic certification, a farm may still be exposed to glyphosate through water run-off and wind if nearby farms are using it. That is why we choose to go the extra mile and send our certified organic oats to a third party to have them tested for glyphosate. BioChecked Non Glyphosate Certified means One Degree Organics oats are truly 100% certified organic and glyphosate free.

Displaying the BioChecked Non Glyphosate Certified logo on our packaging is not a one-time thing—it is an ongoing commitment. We have one random sample from a specific oat farmer tested every month to make sure we continue to meet this standard.
