At SONNENTOR we use Ceylon cinnamon from Sri Lanka, Madagascar and Tanzania. Our products are natural products and the different batches are subject to natural fluctuations and environmental influences, which means we sometimes use goods from different origins.
A regulation states that the designation “Ceylon” is a protected geographical indication and a protected designation of origin. If cinnamon is advertised as “Ceylon”, it must legally come from Sri Lanka.
Due to a new legal regulation (EU Implementing Regulation 2022/144 of February 2, 2022), we can no longer differentiate between cinnamon Ceylon and cinnamon cassia when advertising our ingredients.
Unfortunately, we were forced to delete the addition “Ceylon” at the expense of consumer clarity.
Basically, it should be noted that cinnamon cassia continues to be advertised under this name and cinnamon Ceylon is advertised as “cinnamon”.
