What are the benefits of Barney being a manufacturer vs. using a co-packer like many other nut-butters?

We make all of our own almond butter in small batches in our facility in Fresno, CA. Our facility is certified peanut-free and our products remain free from cross-contamination with other tree nuts (coconut being the exception), dairy, eggs, grain, and seed products. Barney Butter has not been impacted by the recalls affecting many nut butters using co-packers.
