re:   peanut milk.

ingredients do not state it is from raw peanuts.  it says 'fresh'
peanuts.  u can have fresh roasted peanuts.

does not state organic either.

they add sugar.

contains natural flavors - what does that mean?  according to labeling
laws, u can term msg 'natural flavors'.

what kinds of herbs and spices are added?  r they artificial?   what will
they use for irish creme flavor?  cremora?  nowhere does it state nor
artificial ingredients or chemicals r used.

2% whatever grains are around?
