FAQ
About Us
Who or what is Pelster's?
We are Anika and Marcel, founders of Pelster's and proud parents of a little son. The origin of the idea of Pelster's lies in our interest in healthy and sustainable nutrition. Since the pregnancy, we have noticed that hardly any brand combines these principles for parents and children. So the foundation stone for Pelster's was laid.
What does the name stand for?
We are Anika and Marcel Pelster. For us, the quality, health value and transparency of our products are our priority. And because these values are so important to us, we stand for them with our name Pelster.
Where are you headquartered?
From the beautiful Münsterland - located just under 1 km from the gates of Münster - we deliver our products to your home. Münster is not only our home, it also stands for sustainability and environmental awareness more than any other city in the region. We are therefore particularly proud of our headquarters and home in Münsterland!
Are you climate neutral?
Not yet! However, we are constantly working to make all processes as environmentally friendly as possible. Give us a little more time and we will give back to the environment what we take from it.
Products
Should more products be added?
Our heads are full of ideas and we can't wait to implement them! But at the beginning you have to be a little patient. Stay tuned for what comes in the future!
What are the nutritional values?
When it comes to the nutritional values of our products, we pay attention to a healthy mix of content and taste. You can find the nutritional values directly on the product pages next to the product images.
What ingredients go into your products?
There is no frills in our packaging. That's why we only use natural ingredients, without additives or flavor enhancers. You can find the exact composition for each product - in the mobile view directly under the product description and in the web view next to the product description.
Where do the raw materials come from?
When sourcing raw materials, we pay particular attention to ensuring delivery routes are as short as possible. We prefer – if possible – regional products. However, due to seasonal fluctuations, this is not always possible, so we also source our raw materials from other EU countries. With exceptions, some ingredients also come from other countries. Find out more here .
Where are the products made?
Our products are developed and manufactured in Germany, meaning they are “Made in Germany”. Here we work with renowned German food companies and always pay attention to the highest raw material quality. Find out more here .
How is oat drink powder made?
You can find out how our oat drink powder is made here .
Are your products vegan?
The majority of our products are certified with the “Vegan Label” and are therefore vegan and free from animal testing.
Are your products suitable for diabetics?
First of all, you should definitely discuss with your doctor whether our products are suitable for your specific diet. You should know that sugar is produced during the production of our oat powder through natural fermentation. Pelster's organic oat drink has only 2.1 g of natural sugar per 100 ml and the Barista oat drink 4.1 g per 100 ml. In addition, some of our cappuccinos contain organic coconut blossom sugar. Our products are much less sweetened than conventional cappuccinos and the coconut blossom sugar has a lower glycemic index (GI) than conventional household sugar. However, sugar is still included. Our chocolate creams and the chocolate drink are sweetened exclusively with ground date powder. We do not use any additional salt. You can find the exact information on the ingredients of the individual products in the respective product. You can take this information into account when talking to your doctor.
What is the best before date of the products?
All our products always have a minimum shelf life of at least 2 months from dispatch.
If this best before date is exceeded, this is indicated on the product page in the product description and the product price is usually reduced.
The best-before date is basically just a guideline. Often foods can be eaten for longer, so we recommend “look, smell and taste”.
Can I also use the products without Pelster's Shaker?
Of course, you can also use shakers and drinking vessels from other manufacturers. Since consumption in moderation is important to us personally, we would even advocate using containers that already exist in the household. However, if you still want to get an overview of our products, please take a look here .
How do I dispose of the can?
1) Place the aluminum freshness membrane in the recycling bin or, if not available, in the residual waste [each 100% recyclable]
2) Put the PP lid in the yellow bin [100% recyclable]
3) Separate the tinplate base from the can and put it in the recycling bin or, if not available, in the residual waste [93% recyclable]
4) Put the cardboard tube in the waste paper [95% recyclable depending on the waste company].
We are aware that the can is not yet the most sustainable solution. However, we are always looking for the optimal solution. Unfortunately, this process is very lengthy because not every packaging guarantees the same quality of our products. In our opinion, the can currently offers the best mix of practicality and design.
Where is your packaging made?
We source our packaging exclusively from Germany.
Why do some products have the "Shake me!" sticker?
The individual ingredients of the cappuccino powder have different particle sizes. The slight vibration during transport can cause the ingredients to separate again, ie the small particles such as the oat drink powder move to the bottom and the larger particles such as the coffee and coconut blossom sugar move to the top. This could then lead to the first portions of cappuccino tasting rather strong and possibly sweet and the last portions milder and creamier.
By shaking the packaging vigorously after receiving the delivery or stirring it generously, the components should be evenly distributed again and you will have a consistently delicious taste experience. Of course, we are working on optimizing this even further - still without additives!
