Last Updated: May 24, 2026

Relish & Root Company

Vernon Township, New Jersey, USA

This Legal Notice sets forth the general disclaimers, disclosures, and statutory compliance statements governing the use of the Relish & Root Company website and the purchase of our products.

1. FDA & Health Claims Disclaimer

Relish & Root Company provides premium extra virgin olive oil for culinary and dietary use. While scientific research and historical data suggest numerous health benefits associated with the consumption of extra virgin olive oil, we are required by law to provide the following disclosures:

  • Not Medical Advice: Any information, nutritional breakdown, or health-related content provided on this website, on our product labels, or on our social media channels is for educational and informational purposes only. It is not intended as a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.

  • FDA Statement: The statements made regarding our products have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Our products are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease or medical condition.

  • Allergen Notice: Our products are agricultural and packed in a sanitized facility. While olive oil is naturally free of many common allergens, customers with severe allergies should review all packaging and consult their physician prior to consumption.

2. Product Authenticity & Agricultural Standards

We are committed to transparency and adherence to textbook laws regarding the grading and labeling of olive oil.

  • Standard of Identity: Relish & Root Company strictly adheres to the FDA and USDA standards of identity for olive oil. Products labeled as "Extra Virgin Olive Oil" (EVOO) are cold-pressed, unrefined, and meet the strict chemical and sensory standards established for the EVOO grade, avoiding any adulteration or blending with lower-grade seed oils.

  • Natural Variations: Olive oil is a natural, crop-dependent product. Variations in color, cloudiness, sediment, and flavor profile (such as pepperiness or bitterness) are natural characteristics of unrefined cold-pressed olive oil. These agricultural variations do not indicate a defective, unsafe, or spoiled product and are not grounds for a legal claim of misrepresentation.

3. Food Safety & FSMA Compliance

Our operations strictly comply with the FDA Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) and the New Jersey Department of Health regulations regarding the safe handling, storage, and fulfillment of human food.

  • In the event of a product recall initiated by us, a supplier, or a government agency, we will utilize the contact information you provided at checkout to notify you immediately, as required by federal food traceability laws.

  • The name Relish & Root Company, our branding, and our custom label designs are protected trademarks.

  • You may not extract, reproduce, scrape, or utilize any part of our website's content, product descriptions, or imagery for commercial resale, wholesale catalogs, or third-party marketing without our express written consent.
