- US standard of identity: vanilla extract contains at least 35 % ethyl alcohol by volume and at least 1 unit per US gallon (21 CFR 169.175). Below 35 % the product is a "vanilla flavoring" (21 CFR 169.177).

Questions about Cuts
Vanilla cuts are pieces of cured Madagascar Vanilla planifolia: cut vanilla, short split vanilla and vanilla tips. Vanilla Fair Cuts are 100% vanilla beans, split or unsplit, reddish-brown in color and 8 to 12 cm long (over 5 inches).
Vanilla Fair Cuts are intended for food production, in particular extraction and infusions. They are designed as a cost-effective natural option for industrial flavor extraction and bulk preparations in high-volume manufacturing.
Vanilla Fair Cuts have a moisture content of 15 to 20%. Their vanillin rate is up to 1%.
Cuts suit processes where the vanilla is extracted or infused, so the length and look of a whole bean add no value. Vanilla Fair positions its Cuts as the economical choice for large-scale extraction, while Loose Beans are presented as the premium solution for extraction.
Store Vanilla Fair Cuts at room temperature between 12 and 19°C (53.6 to 66.2°F), in the original packaging properly closed, away from air and light and not near other spices. Avoid significant and repeated thermal shocks. Under these conditions the shelf life is 12 to 24 months.
