I hope more items are truly organic and don’t contain genetically modified ingredients. Since Amazon took over, I find products products with misleading advertising on the packaging. The ingredients listed were not as suggested on the package. I’d like to see more bakery goods that are GF & made with organic ingredients or at least without chemicals. I hope this mew store is better than the others.
