According to the French DGCCRF (Directorate-General for Competition, Consumer Affairs and Prevention of Fraud) in its notice of information no. 2009-136, a 100% natural ingredient is a naturally produced foodstuff sold as is, or after mechanical processing that does not alter it fundamentally. It is a product whose original qualities have be preserved. If several products are mixed together, the product is considered 100% natural if each ingredient individually corresponds to the characteristics of a natural ingredient. Consequently, with its 100% natural range, LA PATELIERE offers you ingredients of natural origin, without artificial additives (preservatives, colourings, etc.), and processed in a way that does not alter them completely.
