All of Field Day's Canned Beans are soaked prior to cooking, however, length and time varies based on the beginning moisture of the bean, water temperature, and type of bean. The beans are then tested during the soak process to achieve the desired moisture before canning. After soaking, the beans are cooked at a high temperature and pressure for 12 minutes.

All Field Day Canned Tuna is wild and sustainability caught using pole and line catch methods.  This fishing method uses one person and one fishing pole to catch tuna one-by-one near the seas surface.  By using this catch method and not using any fishing aggregated devises (often used to attract a high volume of fish), we greatly reduce bycatch of larger marine animals, endangered animals or unwanted species.  Fisherman can easily release any unwanted species and help reduce the risk of overfishing in comparison to other large-scale fishing methods.  All of our tuna is certified dolphin safe by the International Dolphin Safe Monitoring Program to ensure that our tuna is caught without endangering any dolphins.

Our Chunk White Albacore is rated Best Choice and our Chunk Light Skipjack is rated Good Alternative by the Monterey Bay Aquarium Seafood Watch Program.

Field Day Extra Virgin Olive Oil is a blend of three main Spanish varieties – Arbequina, Cornicabra, and Picual. All are harvested in Spain. This blend creates a multipurpose oil that is good for both cooking and finishing as it has a balanced flavor that will not mask other ingredients.

After the olives are harvested, they are washed to remove debris and crushed within 24 hours to ensure the highest-grade oils are produced. Absolutely no chemicals, solvents, deodorizers, or heat are used in the processing to ensure the oil retains all of the olives’ natural health benefits.

Every lot code of Field Day Extra Virgin Olive Oil is analyzed to ensure there has been no adulteration in the finished product in order to comply with the European Union regulations. This ensures that the olive oil is 100% pure and not blended with any other oils that may be of a lower quality or chemically refined.

Every shipment is accompanied by a certificate of analysis as our commitment to quality control.

Field Day Apple Cider Vinegar does not contain the mother. The vinegar still contains enzyme (acetobacter) after pasteurization. Pasteurization does not kill it completely, but definitely slows down the process. Some of the probiotics are broken down but not all. Unfiltered, pasteurized, vinegar will still have some of the mother but is much more shelf stable than the raw.

No fluoride is added.

The calcium carbonate used in Field Day's Honey Nut O's is derived from limestone.

Our paper products are whitened using hydrogen peroxide. No chlorine bleach is used. 

Field Day's tissue products, facial tissues, and bath tissues are biodegradable as they immediately start to breakdown in the toilet, septic system, or sewer. The paper towels are considered compostable, meaning in a bio-composing environment they can breakdown; paper towels are not officially considered biodegradable as they are typically disposed in the trash, which ends up in a landfill - they will eventually break down but the process is not fast enough to earn the biodegradable label.

No! All of Field Day’s household and paper products are cruelty free.
