Why is Diana® Sauce now in a plastic bottle?
Through consumer research, we discovered that many consumers preferred plastic over glass because it was lightweight, more durable, less likely to break, and squeezable. In addition, Diana® Sauce is dedicated to the sustainable health of people and the planet. While both glass and plastic are recyclable, the new Diana® Sauce plastic packaging is over 85% lighter in weight than the former glass packaging which reduces energy consumption and greenhouse gases during transportation.
So plastic is also better for the environment.
Is the plastic Diana® Sauce bottle recyclable?
Yes, our plastic Diana® Sauce bottles and caps are recyclable. The only element that is not recyclable is the freshness and security seal at the top of the bottle, a feature we added to maintain freshness and security.

No. The plastic used in our bottle, cap and security seal does not contain BPA.

How do you decipher the code on the cap? Does this code offer expiry information?
The code printed on the side of the cap refers to the production code of the product on hand. The following is an example on how it is deciphered:
L1231 20:22
L = production facility, being Leamington, Ontario
1231 = Julian Calendar (i.e. 123rd day 2011, therefore product was produced on May 2nd, 2011)
20:22 = Military Hour Code
The Diana® Sauce and Diana® Gravy product have an 18 month shelf life whereas the Diana® Marinade product has a 12 month shelf life. Once the production code is deciphered, the shelf life is added to the date to determine the recommended "best before date"
