After a few years, I quit my full-time job of 24 years and joined Epicure on a full-time basis. I always felt welcomed and supported by the larger Epicure community and never looked back on this decision. I hope to continue growing my team, develop fantastic leaders and support them in their endeavours. The spirit of caring and sharing with Epicure is what makes us all successful! It\u2019s an amazing feeling to see people achieve their goals and be able to celebrate their success. In 2013, I received the Caring and Sharing Award which is a beautiful honor to receive from your colleagues. Being a team player is what work is all about. I also earned several trips. I\u2019ve been to St Lucia, Cuba, Mexico, Portugal, Hawaii, and more! Epicure changed my life. I never thought that by joining Epicure, I would take part in creating this multi-million-dollar organization. I am proud to contribute to its success.

Over 85% of our products are Non-GMO Project Verified and the list is still growing! Epicure globally sources only non-irradiated ingredients.
You won’t find things like high fructose corn syrup, preservatives, artificial colours, and gluten in any of our products. Our recipes utilize whole, real foods, not processed alternatives, and many products are low or no-sodium.
We only use ingredients that we trust and would feed to our own families.
Why Non-GMO?
Food produced from genetically modified organisms (GMOs) have had their DNA artificially modified through methods that could never occur in nature. Studies connect GMOs to health problems and environmental damage. In fact, most developed nations consider GMOs to be unsafe. That’s why more than 85% of Epicure products are Non-GMO Project Verified—and the list is GROWING. Epicure is a trailblazer in the Direct Sales Industry as one of the first companies to register with the project.
Irradiated foods are treated with high doses of ionizing radiation to kill pathogens and extend shelf-life. There is disagreement in the food science community as to how irradiation affects the safety and wholesomeness of food. Some studies point to serious health consequences, and that’s why Epicure only sources non-irradiated ingredients.
