SEEDS OF CHANGE: We use their salad dressings, and we love them! There are few companies (even the "organic" ones) that do not use Canola Oil (better known as rapeseed oil-- and all the hype about it being "good" for you-- read more or google "canola oil hazardous [or hazard]" and don't use MSG (also hidden in "natural" foods under permitted names such as soy protein isolate, natural flavorings, etc. (see hidden names and sources of MSG >>). Thanks you, Seeds of Change, for maintaining healthy standards for your salad dressings!
