REGENERATIVE ORGANIC CERTIFIED SPICES
CULINARY CHOICES THAT CENTER RESILIENCE As a leading supplier of sustainably sourced and organic spices, herbs and botanicals, launching the first nationally distributed Regenerative Organic Certified® (ROC)™ bottled spices is just another way Frontier Co-op is offering consumers culinary choices that have a positive impact on people and planet. Led by the Regenerative Organic Alliance, Regenerative Organic Certified ® is rooted in three pillars – soil health, animal welfare, and social fairness – that address the climate crisis, soil degradation, biodiversity loss, factory farming, and fractured rural economies globally. Obtaining this certification aligns with the values, mission, and vision we’ve based our whole business on, and verifies for consumers that we’re walking the talk, allowing them to make informed decisions about their food purchases.
In 2024, Frontier Co-op launched our first line of Regenerative Organic Certified ® SKUs including Ground Ceylon Cinnamon, Ceylon Cinnamon Sticks, Ground Turmeric, and Ground Ginger. Frontier Co-op has also launched the first-ever nationally dis- tributed Regenerative Organic Certified Vanilla Extract. ROC ™ Indonesian Vanilla Extract is available exclusively at Whole Foods Market alongside ROC ™ Whole Black Peppercorns.
