Is it raw or pasteurized?

It does not say on the package if it is pasteurized or unpasteurized. However, I emailed them a question of my own and I got a response right away and they were very kind. teraswhey.com

White and I don't believe it is refined as it is raw. I used this and really like.

About these particular nuts, I cannot comment. But for your general information and in answer to the comment by Leann McCamey: I am sorry to have to inform you that the FDA specifically allows steam-heat pasteurized almonds to be labeled "RAW" Yes, even though they are "cooked" by being pasteurized, the FDA allows (and perhaps encourages) the industry to continue to label them raw. The other method of "pasteurization" is fumigation by toxic gas (my memory is not screening up the chemical right now, just google for it) and those also are "raw", I am not sure how "organic" they are according to the USDA's definition of "organic". Of course none of this fits MY definition of safe, wholesome, raw or organic.

Yes. On the side of the jar it says that it is "unpasteurized", "unfiltered", "fresh raw state." Mine doesn't look like the one pictured. Mine actually has 100% certified organic raw honey with the green and white usda organic seal on the jar. This one shown in the picture doesn't have the word raw therefore, I'm not sure. They took the time to list it on the jar I have so I would think that if it is not listed then it's not.

Hi again, it's cocoa so it has been heated. I read if it's raw it would be cacao.

I say not pasteurized because it has no word on the can that it is. Furthermore, it has vitamin A and C in it, and if it were pasteurized it would not or it would have say supplemented with A and C. I don't know if the liquid version is however, since most states require pasteurization if sold in its natural state.

It doesn't say "raw", but if it is uncooked it must be raw, wouldn't you say? USA Product, and tastes really good.

I just checked my bottle and it doesn't say that it's pasteurized anywhere on the label.

They're not pasteurized, by the time I got them in the mail the drinks were bad. I had to return them which was a mess b/c their shipping dept. resent me the same package I returned

It's definitely pasteurized. Meyenberg is a pasteurized brand, and the process of producing dry milk uses high heat. Dry milk and condensed milk can never be "raw". Oh and, Thomas is wrong. Raw milk from a healthy source is superior to pasteurized milk, which explains why baby cows die when they live off pasteurized milk. Raw milk is also more tolerable to people who are sensitive to pasteurized milk. Pasteurization came about thanks to industrial farming, which caused cows to become unhealthy and infected, and of course, the milk would be infected and unsafe to drink without pasteurizing it first. However, pasteurizing also alters the proteins and fats in the milk. Goat milk is especially sensitive to heat because of the fat structure, which is why Meyenberg's ultra-pasteurized goat milks taste 'goaty' while the less pasteurized brands (Summerhill, LaClare, etc..) and raw goat milk don't have that goaty flavor. Good luck!

You are correct. The label does not say "raw". I have assumed because it is unfiltered and uncooked that it is raw. Sorry I cannot be more helpful.

Yes, it is raw. If it is cooked, it will loose its resistance starch properties & cause blood sugar to go up.

Unless Artisana has changed their sources, this is made from pasteurized, California almonds. If you're looking for raw almond butter from non-pasteurized almonds, you can Google "non-pasteurized raw almond butter."

I worry about the same thing. By law, almonds produced in the US have to be pasteurized. If they are not organic, you can count on them being chemically treated (and legally, they can still be called "raw" - what a joke!). Imported almonds, however, do not have to be pasteurized....

No, they were raw. Very hight quality. You can roast them or use them in stir fries etc. About 30% less than grocery brands and much higher quality

I am not sure if its raw, the package does not say so and I do not know how to tell. The package says 100% ground sesame..not toasted or anything. But, I like it very much for making hummus!
