Production of Organic Xylitol:

Organic xylitol is made from pure organically grown maize. The cultivation as well as the harvest of the valuable raw material takes place very carefully. The certified organic maize is guaranteed GMO-free. And of course, no genetically modified material is used during the entire production process of our organic xylitol.

Use of Organic Xylitol:

Organic Xylitol can be used in preparation of any sweets by simply substituting sugar with the same amount of organic xylitol (1:1).

Important Information Concerning Pets:

Keep xylitol away from your pets. Like many other foods (chocolate, grapes, raisins, onions, …), organic xylitol is not suitable for dogs and other pets as they metabolise it in a different way than humans. Should your pet still have eaten xylitol (even in small quantities) please seek medical advice immediately.
