(As an aside the Ashkenazi Jewish population is known for having one of the most heart healthy communities in the world). Frequently Asked Questions Are there any artificial trans fats in your products and do you add anything to your fats? They are sorry you even had to ask, but the answer is no, artificial trans fats are NOT traditional fats in anyway. Partially hydrogenated trans fat are anathema to everything Fatworks stands for. In addition, none of the raw fat that they render is processed, smoked, hydrogenated or otherwise altered in anyway. They add Organic rosemary extract to their lard and poultry fats to help the peroxide low during the rendering process. What do their animals eat? Hopefully, this is the first question you looked for when you came to their site. Nothing is more important to an animal's quality of life than what they eat and how they are raised. For this reason they only use Pasture-Raised animals. The cows they use only eat grass and the ducks and pigs eat what they find in pasture in addition to their non-GMO feed. Please note that they are not certified non-GMO since they use small family farms as their source and many of these farmers can not afford, or simply do not wish, to go through the certification process. So what's in the feed you ask? It's a high quality non-GMO mix of grains and soy. They realize some people are concerned about soy in particular because soy contains isoflavonoids which are biologically active compounds such as phytoestrogens. Some researchers believe these have a deleterious effect on the human body while other researchers will cite studies which claim that soy isoflavonoids are in fact beneficial. (Funny thing this food science.) For what it's worth, the founders of Fatworks try to avoid soy in their diet. That's why it was a happy day indeed when they received the email from the lab which stated, "it doesn't look like there are any "isoflavonoids" in the duck fat." A little known fact is that the isoflavonoids, it seems, are absorbed in the muscle meat and possibly the organs, but not the fat! The same principle applies for grain proteins such as gluten. Gluten is NOT absorbed into the fat of animals. Therefore their fats are, of course, gluten free. They would like to stress once again that all the farmers they source from state that the soy or grains they use are non-GMO. Again, these are PASTURED ducks, pigs and cows. If you know anything about standard farming practices you know this is very rare indeed. Unlike the vast majority of ducks and pigs raised in the U.S., the animals they source feed on true pasture which provides them grass, grubs, clover and anything else they would eat in nature, making for a much more rounded fatty acid profile. Conceptually they would love, love, love to rid soy and even grains from all animal food supply, but this would literally starve the animals on pasture. It is currently only possible to feed without grain supplementation on very, very small farms, most of which are not USDA certified. They thought long and hard about what they would permit in the feed of their products and basically it came down to this: They were not going to let the "perfect be the enemy of the good". Their mission is and has always been, to provide the best fat possible with the resources available. They created Fatworks to provide people with a healthier and better tasting alternative to trans fats and highly oxidizable industrialized
