Certifications

These certifications are the newer certifications from Leaf Brands remake of the Hydrox cookie. The previous Hydrox cookie’s certifications are excluded due to its certifications to be lost, or never earned.

## Made Without High Fat Or High Fructose Corn Syrup

This cookie is a good option for adults, or children with a fat problem, mostly due to its low levels of Corn Syrup, which is one of the causes of obesity in the U.S and many other places in the world. Although the levels of Corn Syrup is still in the cookie, it isn’t too high to make you fat. On the other hand, Trans Fat is Fat put into fast food restaurants menu items, which is another reason for obesity in the U.S.

## Certified Vegan

In 2015, (when Leaf Brands remastered the cookie) Vegan.org, a popular vegan website that certifies certain food items, and products to see if they include meat products, or anything against the vegan rules. In later 2020-2021, Vegan.org rated the Hydrox cookie, and classified it too be Vegan free, which stops concerns and drama against the cookie.

## Non-GMO

Non-GMO means a product was produced without genetic engineering and its ingredients are not derived from GMOs. This is especially healthy due to the fact the plant it’s used from isn’t genetically modified to grow faster, which could cause some benefits.

## No Artificial Flavors Or Colors

Artificial flavors are any flavors that are not defined as natural, even if they have the exact same chemical composition as flavors isolated directly from nature. This distinction between the origins of flavors has no bearing on how safe, healthy, or delicious they are. Keeping Hydrox a healthy option of a cookie choice.

## Made In The USA

A Made in USA mark is a country of origin label affixed to homegrown, American-made products that indicates the product is "all or virtually all" domestically produced, manufactured and assembled in the United States of America. The label is regulated by the Federal Trade Commission. This trademark was added in 2018, when Leaf Brands sued 800 million dollars out of Mondelez Internationals (The Distributor Of Oreo) bank, from hiding their product(s) from shelves. This also proves that it is not made in China, or any other country, which makes food with poor ingredients, and makes it generally unhealthy.

## Kosher

Kosher is a law in Jewish food that prohibits the following: It must come from ruminant animals with cloven — or split — hooves, such as cows, sheep, goats, lambs, oxen, and deer. The only permitted cuts of meat come from the forequarters of kosher ruminant animals. Due to Hydrox being officially Vegan certified, it has been officially deemed a Kosher food. This has went along with its history for it’s lifetime.

## Halal

Halal is a dietary law derived from Islamic teachings, meaning “lawful or permitted.” On the contrary, foods that are not considered halal are considered haram or “not permitted.” Because there are many culturally diverse places worldwide, with more to develop over time, it’s important to cater to a wide range of people and their dietary needs. This means it is essential to consider including halal food on your menu or at your next get-together. Being mindful of specific dietary needs allows you to meet the needs of a diverse population so that others do not feel left out. This leaves Hydrox in the spotlight due to it being in the yes state of confirmation in many countries.

## Clean Label

Leaf Brands remodeled version of Hydrox has put in correct ingredients into their cookie’s recipe, they have received a clean label, which means no artificial colors or flavors, no trans-fats or high fructose corn sweeteners, and 100% non-GMO.
