Question 1

How much does a serving give you of each type of mushroom?

Accepted Answer

I would call the ZNatural Foods company, their customer service tries to be helpful.

Question 2

What is the percentage of maltodextrin?

Accepted Answer

I'd have to say there is a lot of maltodextrin based on the nutritional information.  Even though mushrooms have a percentage of carbs a lot of it is fiber and they are also have protein and fat.  The fact that 60% of the serving is sugar (4g of 7g) and the other macros don't show up is telling.  Also the nutritional label is misleading as sugar + fiber = total carbs.  Maybe they don't have to list maltodextrin as a sugar since its more of a starch but your body will consume it like a sugar and it has a high G index, also bad for gut biome.

Question 3

What is causing your need to post California's Prop65 warning - is it heavy metals (which is common in foods)? But what level? Thanks

Accepted Answer

That's a great question. California Prop 65 is a law that only pertains to products shipping to California so any other state can disregard it. We have to add the disclaimer warning on the label of everything we sell because it is possible someone in another state could send one of our products to California and then if the disclaimer is not on the label we could be sued. Recently predatory law firms have been hunting down any company that sells products in California that does not have the warning. Unfortunately, the way the law in California is written you are guilty until proven innocent as a company selling products. That means that a law firm could come after us just because something we sell does not have that warning and we have to pay to prove our product is safe and does not need the warning. So these law firms can literally send a lawsuit for every product a company sells if it does not have the warning. Then even if the product is safe the company has to either go to court to prove the warning is not needed or the company has to settle with the law firm. Currently, the average settlement is around $80,000 and going to court to prove you are innocent costs well over $100,000. Those amounts are for each product that does not have this warning. So these law firms are forcing companies to put these warnings on all kinds of products that may not need them or face huge financial losses.

Question 4

Has anyone tried this in tea?

Accepted Answer

No I haven't tried it in tea I switched the brand because this brand has maltodextrin which spikes blood sugar.
