When we mill buckwheat, we do so by removing the rough outer hull first. Our Buckwheat Flour contains all of the grain including the bran, but hardly any pieces of the outer hull and as a result, this makes the flour appear lighter in colour.

Maize, or corn, is a versatile plant that can be milled into an array of different types of flours, including, corn starch, corn flour, maize starch and maize flour. Depending on which part of the maize kernel and how the maize is milled, the flour will be different. Corn starch (commonly used in America), corn flour (commonly used in the UK) and maize starch are very finely ground powders that are typically used as thickening agents, whereas maize flour has a slightly larger particle size and can be used for baking – often used in tortilla wraps.
We produce two types of flour derived from maize. The first is our Gluten Free Organic Maize Flour, which is a wholegrain flour and has a slightly larger particle size. We mill both the bran and the endosperm during production which gives it a naturally yellow colour. The second product is our Gluten Free Cornflour, a much finer flour, which is completely white and is commonly uses as a thickening agent in recipes.

No, the addition of bleaching agents and the bromination of flour is not permitted in the UK.

All refined white and brown flours (organic and non-organic) milled from wheat in the United Kingdom must have the so-called statutory ingredients of calcium, iron, thiamine and niacin added. There is currently no requirement by law to fortify gluten free flour.

In accordance with the revised UK Bread and Flour regulations, Doves Farm Foods will be adding Folic Acid to non-wholemeal wheat flours when the fortification rules are enforced. We are still waiting on the exact time frames any required changes will need to happen, but all non-wholemeal flours are due to be fortified with Folic Acid by the end of 2026. Currently there are no plans to fortify Gluten Free Flours.

Store your flour in a cool, dry place. Alternatively, storing flour in an airtight container, can prevent the ingress of moisture or psocids (flour weevils).

The legal maximum limit for gluten in gluten free labelled products is less than 20ppm and all FREEE products comply with this limit. Please refer to our allergen policy for more information.

The level of Aluminium in our Bicarbonate of Soda is <0.5mg/kg. In our Baking Powder the level is <80mg/kg.

We use responsibly sourced RSPO (Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil) Palm Oil from organic certified producers in Colombia. It is non-GM (genetically modified), fully traceable back to a single mill, and being produced in South America it is in no way implicated in the destruction of Orangutan habitats. Indeed, being organic our producers are dedicated to enhancing their local environment, by setting aside at least 10% of their land for ‘wildlife corridors’, which not only encourages the growth of natural fauna and flora, but helps control pests and diseases in the organic palm crop. You can find out more information about the RSPO certification here and the Organic Standards here.

We use palm fat because it is one of the few ‘vegetable oils’ that is naturally solid at room temperature. Most plant-based oils require hydrogenation to make them solid which is not allowed in organic products. Palm fat, butter and coconut fat are the only available options at this time. Unfortunately, Butter is not suitable for milk allergy sufferers or vegans, and Coconut fat has a very strong flavour, making it unsuitable for many products.

Non-enzymatic, organic corn syrup is made from maize starch and adds colour and flavour to our cookies. We do not use high-fructose corn syrup (HFCS) which is processed to contain higher levels of fructose sweetener.

No, we choose not to use hydrogenated fat in our products.

No, we never add these to our products.

No, we never add enzymes to our products.

No, Nanotechnology techniques or tools are never used during cultivation, production, processing, or packaging of our food.

No, we never use GM material.

No, the film is currently not recyclable. However, we are actively looking at ways to moving to a recyclable film.

Whilst the film has a paper layer, giving an overall paper feel, unfortunately this is not recyclable. However, we are actively looking at ways to moving to a recyclable film.

The PP (Polypropylene) tube and lid are recyclable at home.

The cardboard box can be recycled at home. The inner bag can only be recycled with bags at large supermarkets.

The film can be recycled with bags at large supermarkets.

We do not currently use recycled cardboard for packaging that is in direct contact with food, as it is very difficult for carton board manufacturers to guarantee the sources of the material they recycle.

Food grade PET cannot be used to wrap products that are in any way dusty as this compromises the seal. As all our products produce an amount of dust the PET film currently available is not suitable for our packaging.
