What makes this product “Pure”?

To be classified as “Pure” by the FDA, extracts must meet a set of strict requirements. These requirements include that pure vanilla extract must contain 13.35 ounces of vanilla beans per gallon of liquid and be 35% alcohol. The agency also limits the permissible ingredients beyond beans and alcohol. We use the “Pure” classification because we only use all-natural ingredients and follow FDA guidelines for creating our extracts.

What is the shelf life of Nielsen-Massey Pure Peppermint Extract?

The shelf life is up to 3 years. The “Best By” date printed on the side of the bottle indicates its expiration. If the extract starts to look cloudy or if you see sediment at the bottom of the bottle, the flavor matter has dropped out of suspension. This is normal. Just shake the bottle to put the flavoring material back into suspension.

How can I cook with Pure Peppermint Extract?
