Most Credible Natural Food Brands

The list came out almost two years ago. Does this remain true today? We’d love to hear your thought.

The Top 20 Most Credible Natural Food Brands

20. Wildwood: The organic sprouted tofus are GMO-free but some of the processed fodos including yogurts, can contain ingredients to avoid.

19. Rejuvenative Foods: High quality fermented foods.

18.  Kettle Chips: Stick with the organic options.

17.Lundberg Farms: Beware the packaged risottos with “butter flavor.”

16.Tofurky: Generally clean organic tofu products, but some of the more processed items, including the pizzas, contain questionable ingredients that are best to avoid.

15. Reed’s: Ginger is medicine, and these sodas are amazing, but they do however contain a lot of sugar. Like all soft drinks, save for special occassions.

14. Mary’s Gone Crackers: Gluten-free, whole grain and clean ingredients when snacking is a must.

13. Sunshine Burger: Pretty much the only soy-free, wheat-free veggie burger option besides your own recipe. They essentially do just one thing, and they do it well.

12. Field Roast: Very clean mock-meats, but wheat-based and non-organic. Still, better than most else out there when you can’t make your own.

11. Equal Exchange: An emphasis on Fair Trade coffee and chocolate. Check ingredients on processed items.

10. Theo Chocolate: You can find a lot of locally made chocolates now in most major cities, but a good default option is Theo’s organic and Fair Trade varieties. Not all vegan.

9. Artisana: High quality clean nut butters in glass jars.

8. Bob’s Redmill: Stick with the solo ingredients rather than the mixes.

7. Dr. Bronner’s: They mostly make the world’s best soap, but their coconut oil is now available in stores and it’s the best-tasting Fair Trade coconut oil currently available. Hopefully they bring more products with integrity to our food supply.

6. Big Tree Farms: A newcomer to the food industry, but they’re doing some revolutionary products including coconut palm sugar. And working with thousands of farmers in Bali as a cooperative is also pretty cool.

5. Traditional Medicinals: Pharmacopeial grade herbs formulated by professional herbalists for high-quality, effective teas.

4. Nature’s Path: The go-to brand for organic cereal and a commitment to non-GMO ingredients, but beware, they still use a lot of sugar and ingredients like soy oil.

3. Food for Life: Sprouted grains are edible grains. No fillers; impeccable quality.

2. Bragg’s: Trust people who make their money on apple cider vinegar. And drink it daily.

1. Eden Foods: BPA-free cans, organic soy, no gelling agents in the soymilk, commitment to organic, local and traditionally made foods for three decades. Family-owned.
