Triple Dipped Dark Chocolate Almonds - Party Jar

All almonds grown and sold in the United States, other than at a road-side stand or farmers market, must be pasteurized, as required by the FDA. This process reduces harmful microorganisms and makes almonds safer to eat. 

At Maisie Jane’s, we are committed to using only steam pasteurization. This method—exposing almonds to carefully controlled steam for a proven time and temperature—takes more time and cost, but we believe it’s the safest option for our products and for you. The more common alternative, propylene oxide (PPO), is a chemical method that the EPA warns may cause health problems if ingested in large amounts. You can trust that Maisie Jane’s never uses PPO—only pure steam pasteurization.

Refrigerating our nut butters isn’t necessary, though it can help extend shelf life. 

At room temperature, they’ll keep for up to two years. Just note that refrigeration makes the texture thicker and harder to spread. If you prefer a softer, more spreadable nut butter, store it at room temperature and give it a good stir before use to keep the oils blended.

At Maisie Jane’s, our 1-Ingredient nut butters are made simply from freshly roasted nuts milled to perfection—nothing else added. 

Because they’re natural, it’s normal for the oils to separate and rise to the top. Just stir the oils back in with a knife or spoon to restore the creamy texture. Avoid pouring the oil off, as this will cause the nut butter to harden. Some people also like to store their jars upside down to help minimize separation.

Yes, all our products are naturally gluten free. We don’t process any items containing gluten.

Most Maisie Jane’s products are certified Kosher by the Earth Kosher certification process, which is congruent with Kosher Industry Standards.You can tell if your product of choice is Certified Kosher if, on the product page/product packaging, you see the Kosher symbol.

At Maisie Jane’s, food safety and allergen control are a top priority. We process almonds, cashews, walnuts, and hazelnuts in our own facility, and some equipment—like roasters and nut butter lines—is shared between them. To prevent cross-contamination, our team follows strict protocols: equipment is thoroughly cleaned, visually inspected, and tested for allergen proteins before the next product run. For added peace of mind, we do not process peanuts in our Maisie Jane’s facility.

Additional Allergen Notes:

• Roasted & Flavored Nuts (Made at Maisie Jane’s): Produced in our Chico, CA facility, which does not process peanuts. However, these products are made in a plant that also processes tree nuts, milk, eggs, and soy. May contain shell pieces.
• Chocolate & Candy Products (Made by Trusted Partners): Crafted by trusted partners who use our nuts but process them in facilities that also handle peanuts, wheat, tree nuts, milk, egg, and soy. These products contain milk and may contain wheat, peanuts, shell pieces, and other tree nuts. 

Every item includes a clear allergen statement beneath the ingredients, so you can shop with confidence.

Your safety matters to us — and we’re committed to transparency in every bite.
