PROTEIN BLISS

Live Better products can also be taken during pregnancy, except for Pure Biltong and Kaminwurz, as they are cured.
Pure Jerky is cooked, not raw meat, so there's no problem.

Better Mayo is made with pasteurized egg yolk. The yolk is pasteurized, undergoing a controlled heat treatment at 64°C for 8 minutes and then refrigerated at +2°C. Under proper storage conditions and shelf-life, the product is generally suitable for consumption during pregnancy. Unless otherwise indicated by a medical professional and in accordance with the storage instructions on the label.

The only caution is Chokkino because it contains caffeine
A cup of Chokkino espresso contains only 11 mg of caffeine (an espresso coffee contains 80 mg)
EFSA's recommended daily limit of caffeine for pregnant women is 200 mg
Caffeine is naturally present in cocoa, and therefore also in chocolate. However, chocolate contains less caffeine than cocoa powder.
Cocoa powder contains less cocoa butter and therefore the caffeine is "concentrated"

All Live Better products can be taken while breastfeeding.

Consult your doctor for special needs

This is perfectly normal because our creams do not contain emulsifiers, so the oil will rise to the surface. It will just need to be mixed well and it will come back smooth. It just takes a little patience and a little elbow grease. This operation only needs to be done the first time.

SUMMER
The oil separates because the creams do not contain emulsifiers. They just need to be stirred with a knife. It takes a little patience but comes back perfect. Operation to be done only the first time the cream is opened.

WINTER
CREAMY BLISS: The cocoa butter in the cocoa powder solidifies, making the cream harder.
PROTEIN BLISS: coconut oil solidifies.

To help you mix the cream the first time you use it do this: put it on a radiator for a few hours and then turn it well with a knife. It takes a little elbow grease but only the first time.

Or give her a nice steam bath! Boil some water and then pour it into a container with high sides. Dip the tightly closed jar into the water, leaving the cap off. Cover with a lid and wait 10 minutes. Remove the jar from the water, open it and turn it well with a knife, it will be creamy! Be careful and do not burn yourself.
CAUTION: You must not cook the cream on the stove.

Vacuum-sealed glass jars are used for tomato sauces, pickles, tuna, and similar products. Creamy spreads are never vacuum-sealed, not even Nutella. That’s why they don’t make the “clack” sound when you open the jar. Why? Because they are anhydrous (they contain no water), so they don’t have shelf-life issues. By contrast, products that contain water, such as tomato purée, require a vacuum seal created by pasteurization. When we boil jars of homemade passata, we are pasteurizing them, which creates the vacuum and when we open them, we hear the “clack.”

The date shown on NON-fresh products is not the expiration date, but the TMC.

TMC means Minimum Storage Term and is NOT an expiration date. The product is always perfectly edible after this date. When you read “best before...” on a product, it means it is not an expiration date but the TMC minimum shelf life.

PLEASE NOTE: Our products are very stable because they are in powdered form and contain mainly saturated fats, which are naturally very stable. We have tested many of them even more than one year past their TMC date, and they were still in perfect condition, including coconut milk, cocoa powder, erythritol, and arrowroot.

How to tell if a product is still good? Very simple!
Just take a look: are there any signs of mold, insects, or anything unusual?
Smell: smell?
If the answers to these two questions are no, the product is still good.

Think about this: the expiration date was invented 50 years ago. Humankind has existed for 2.5 million years. Your senses are perfectly capable of recognizing a product gone bad. Trust us!

10% of European food waste is caused by the misinterpretation of this date. Tell your friends about this important distinction between TMC and expiration date. Awareness will save the world.
