Cedar’s Foods Debuts Industry’s First Seed-Oil-Free Organic Hommus

Mediterranean Dip Leader Launches Seed-Oil-Free Organic Hommus and Removes Guar Gum and Citric Acid, Setting a New Standard for Transparency and Flavor in Refrigerated Snacking

HAVERHILL, MA – In a landmark step for clean-label snacking, Cedar’s Foods, the family-owned leader in Mediterranean dips and spreads, has launched the industry’s first organic seed-oil-free hommus and removed guar gum and citric acid across its Organic lines. 

In addition, the Organic line—including 8 oz Organic, 10 oz Topped Organic and 16 oz Organic hommus—will feature refreshed label designs, making it easier for consumers to identify Cedar’s simplified, transparent ingredients.

“Consumers are reading labels more closely than ever, and frankly, they deserve better,” said Aimee Tsakirellis, Executive Vice President of Marketing at Cedar’s Foods. “We’ve reformulated the Organic line to eliminate seed oils and unnecessary additives like guar gum, citric acid, and added sugar. These updates raise the bar for clean-label snacking without compromising the creamy texture and bold flavor our fans love.”

Reformulation Highlights for Organic Hommus Lines:

• Seed-oil-free: Organic Hommus line reformulated to remove industrial seed oils; Reserve line remains seed-oil-free and is slated for formal certification by Spring 2026.
• No guar gum: Removed from Organic line for a more natural, additive-free texture.
• No citric acid: Eliminated from Organic line to create a cleaner ingredient list and authentic flavor profiles.
• Refreshed packaging: Organic Hommus SKUs updated with new labels for clarity and visibility.

This milestone builds on the success of Cedar’s Reserve, the brand’s premium, small-batch line. With the Organic line now meeting these high standards, Cedar’s offers a full spectrum of clean-label options, making it easier than ever for consumers to snack with confidence.

This reformulation embodies Cedar’s commitment to elevating hommus with purposeful innovation, clean ingredients, and a genuine love for Mediterranean flavors. You can find Cedar’s Organic Line at any retailer that currently offers Cedar’s products. For more information, please visit cedarsfoods.com.
