Where can I find your products?

WHERE TO BUY

Can I buy your products directly?

We do not sell our products directly to consumers. However, we have many online etailers and stores throughout the world who carry our products. 

Do you have samples available?

We don’t typically mail out consumer samples but, from time to time, we have contests and giveaways on Instagram and Facebook. Please join us there!

Why are my GIN GINS® dusted with white powder?
The fine white powder on our GIN GINS® is finely ground cane sugar. We use it to help reduce the stickiness of our candy. This is all done by hand, so the amount of surface powder can vary from piece to piece.

My product expired on x date, is it still safe to eat?

If the product has passed the expiration date indicated on the package, we recommend it be discarded. Products are safe if stored properly even after the Best By date but the quality may change, and we can only guarantee its deliciousness up until its best by date listed on the package.

Which of your products require refrigeration after opening?

Once opened, you should refrigerate our Ginger Juice, Minced Ginger, Grated Ginger, Pickled Sushi Ginger, Gingerade and Ginger Sauces. We do not recommend refrigerating our Ginger Syrup or Ginger Spread, but suggest it be stored in the pantry like honey.

Where is the best before date on your products?

All of our products are date stamped with their Best Before dates. Most date codes are placed in the most obvious spot possible. Our sauces are date stamped on the glass, so the Best By can be challenging to see. If you can’t find it, please reach out to us. We’re here to help — info@gingerpeople.com

Do any of your products have a risk of cross-contamination from allergens?

All our suppliers follow rigorous standards to prevent allergen cross contamination. However, many of our products are produced and/or packed in facilities that process allergens, such as peanuts and soy. All of our products have allergen statements listed on the packaging (if applicable). We recommend checking with your physician if you are concerned about your particular sensitivities.

Do your products contain sulfites?

We follow FDA guidelines and conduct rigorous testing to ensure our products meet or exceed the government regulations with regard to sulfites. Our Crystallized Ginger products may contain trace amounts of sulfite, but under the 10ppm FDA detectable level.

Who organically certifies your products?

Our products are certified by a few different organizations depending on where we make them. Our certifying bodies include German-based BCS ÖKO-GARANTIE GMBH, Australian Certified Organic, the U.K. Soil Association, Oregon Tilth and Quality Assurance International. Ultimately, our organic products meet the standards and carry the logo of the USDA.

Are your products all natural?

Our products do not contain any artificial colors, flavors, sweeteners or preservatives.

Do your offer tours of your Marina headquarters?

Although we’re happy to see you, our Marina headquarters is a “heads-down” sales, marketing, quality assurance, logistics and accounting operation. If you stop by, we may put you to work!

Do you have any vegetarian and/or vegan-friendly products?

Yes! Our entire line is vegetarian, and almost all of our products (with the exception of our Gingerade and Ginger Peanut Sauce as they contain honey) are vegan-friendly, and do not contain any animal products or use any animal ingredients in production.
