All jars of American Dream Nut Butter now are imprinted with a Lot # and Expiration Date on the bottom of the jar; keep in mind that we handcraft each jar in small batches so expirations will vary from one jar to the next.

Unopened American Dream Nut Butter will remain fresh for up to a year, while opened jars retain peak freshness for about 6 months. Your handcrafted butters can be stored at room temperature and do not need to be refrigerated – although we highly suggest chilling Mint Dream if you’re a fan of fudge, trust us on this one!

Oil separation is completely normal, especially since our butter bases are created with all-natural fresh premium roasted nuts. (PS: many big brands use added oils to help extend shelf life and stabilize the mixture to prevent spreading, we don't!) A good stir is all you need to help the oils naturally blend, but keep in mind warmer temperatures do result in natural separation too.

Not a fan of separation? Our best tip is to store your unopened butter jars upside down. This should prevent the need for extra mixing when you open your jar for the first time.

Yes! Every single blend of American Dream Nut Butter is 100% gluten-free. Even blends that include toppings such as pretzels or crushed cookies use only 100% gluten-free products and ingredients.

American Dream Nut Butter is proud to partner directly with a local, premium supplier of grass-fed whey protein. Because of our founder Lea's own dietary restrictions we sought out the cleanest possible whey protein for our butter blends, ensuring it would not only be easy on digestion but free of common inflammatory ingredients.

Our whey protein is 100% gluten-free, lactose-free and sweetened naturally with Stevia. No artificials, no thickeners or gums, just pure protein and natural flavors.

American Dream Nut Butter proudly sources all toppings for our 'fancy' blends from leading manufacturers including: Reese's, Hershey's, Ghirardelli, Enjoy Life Foods, Glutino and more. All ingredients for select toppings are transparently reported on our FDA-regulated nutrition labels, as shared by the original manufacturer. 

We encourage customers to review our ingredient labels carefully to determine if you may have any intolerances, sensitivities or allergies before purchasing. Being a small batch food product, we cannot accept returns. 

We do offer a select vegan blends including Vegan Confetti Cake Pop, Vegan Cookie Batter and of course our Just Plain Nutty series. All plant-only blends are clearly marked as vegan-friendly and include 100% vegan ingredients.

Yes! All of our butter bases are lightly sweetened naturally, with Stevia. However, you may see trace amounts of additional sugars on the label where we clearly list the ingredients of any toppings used for our ‘fancy blends’. Items like chocolate, peanut butter or butterscotch chips, sugar crystals or crushed cookies may contain added sugars. When we add toppings to our nut butters, these are carefully weighed and measured out so that we can accurately report their nutritional content on our FDA-regulated labels.

Yes! Our Just Plain Nutty series was designed exactly for YOU! Just Plain Nutty butters are exactly as they sound – plain and simple. No added whey isolate, no fancy toppings or flavors. Just fresh, premium roasted nuts and pink Himalayan sea salt, that’s it! You get all the benefits of our signature drippy dreamy texture without the extras that may not align with your specific diet or lifestyle.

Rest assured we understand allergies! Our founder Lea actually has a son who is allergic to peanuts, so we take sterilization seriously to avoid cross contamination while producing our nut butter blends. 

We process one nut at a time, and never more than one nut per day. All equipment is broken down in between nuts, sanitized to the highest FDA regulations and dried completely before production begins again.

Our kitchen is monitored regularly by our local Indiana State Health Inspector and we have received a glowing review each and every time...something we are extremely proud of!

Because our labels are regulated by the FDA we report every ingredient as accurately as possible, which means when we use special flavorings or toppings like sprinkles, chocolate chips, cereal, cookies, etc. we must report their ingredients too! We rely on manufacturers of our toppings to report accurately and oftentimes items like chocolate, cookies or candy will contain these ingredients. Not a fan? That’s okay! You can still enjoy our signature drippy dreamy, handcrafted butters without the extras by ordering from our Just Plain Nutty series!

All of our butters are handcrafted, packaged and stored in our temperature controlled kitchen, however we have absolutely no control over the jostling that may occur during shipping, or the temperature of your package’s final destination. This unfortunatley means that your jar(s) may experience metling, or toppings may settle. We always recommend you give each jar a good stir! (PS: Yes! We have considered more temperature-friendly packaging, and will continue to research potential solutions.) 

Rest assured that we top each and every jar by hand - that allows us to maintain macro accuracy as well as maintain our founder, Lea's, uncanny attention to detail. However, we're human and mistakes may happen. Should you an experience an issue with your butter, please reach out to a member of Customer Support team directly by filing a claim, here.

We strive for perfection, but human error happens. We know how frustrating it may be to receive an incorrect order, so we'll be sure to make it right!

“I don’t like it…” we rarely hear that, and for good reason! We are confident in our top secret handcrafted recipe, but we understand that in rare situations our drizzly texture or unique flavorings may not be for you. Check out our reviews to pick a blend that best suits you!

As a small batch food product, to ensure the health and safety of our team members and customers, we cannot accept the return of opened/used product(s), except in the event where there was a quality issue with your product(s) at the time of purchase.

Unfortunately, after the order is placed, there is no modifying the order or the payment options. We also encourage customers to double check the shipping address before placing your order.

We don’t run regular sales (aside from our annual Black Friday promotion!), but we always encourage you to keep an eye on our social media feeds in the event that we run a special promo. We also have a team of ambassadors who share their discount codes regularly. Check our Instagram story to see who we are highlighting today!

The USPS Indianapolis Sorting Facility is currently facing unprecedented demand with limited staff. In an effort to expedite the process, they are not scanning packages in, as a result your package may not receive tracking until it has received at its destination facility.

What this means is that when we send you a shipping confirmation, your order may appear to be sitting stagnant and still in the “pre-shipment” phase, when in fact it has left our warehouse and is with the carrier. By not scanning at the original sorting facility, there’s a strong chance that your tracking will not update until well into its transit journey.

Please rest assured that your packages are being shipped and we are doing everything we can to find a solution with USPS so that this issue does not persist. 

USPS has specifically communicated to us that depending upon where you are located across the country, some distributions centers are experiencing 2- 4 week delivery delays.

On average, our customers have been experiencing a 15-day delay before their tracking is updated to reflect that their package is scheduled for delivery. 

To review the most updated Service Alerts from USPS, please visit: https://about.usps.com/newsroom/service-alerts/

Everything we can control, we are controlling. We are completely caught up in the American Dream Nut Butter shop, all orders are leaving our warehouse next day! That means upon handcrafting, your jars are leaving our shop within 24-48 hours. 

Currently we are shipping 95% of new orders via UPS, which has been delivering packages within 5-8 days of the order leaving our shop.

Please note, depending upon where you live, a small number of orders will still need to be handed off from UPS to USPS to complete the final leg of delivery. This is especially true in more rural areas of our country. 

We as a small business often will pay more to ship through UPS, but you will not see an increase in your shipping rates. This pivot in shipping carriers is our commitment to you, our loyal customers, to ensure your orders arrive in a more timely fashion.

At American Dream Nut Butter, we take your health and the health and safety of our team very seriously. Our kitchen is regulated by both the FDA as well as our own local Indiana State Board of Health; we are proud that our kitchen has received glowing reviews from our State Health Inspector each and every time. If you're active on social media, you can find a video series on our Instagram related to our health inspections here: https://www.instagram.com/tv/CAvTIgBh14o/

To ensure we are keeping everyone safe and well, our production team works in two shifts to minimize the number of people in the kitchen at any one time. We adhere to all COVID best practices including social distancing, the wearing of face masks and of course all of the other requirements that come with operating a kitchen such as all employees wearing gloves, hair nets, etc. We also have a specific dress code for our butter makers, packers and shippers including aprons and uniforms that are laundered daily after each shift. 

All of our butter is MADE FRESH to order by hand, here in our Indiana kitchen. Therefore it can take us 1-3 business days to craft, process and fulfill your order. We promise, it is worth the wait!

Please be aware that new product launches can add additional delays, as the volume of orders increases dramatically during the initial launch time.

With each product launch we always aim to begin shipping next-day, however depending upon where your order falls within the queue, fulfillment can take anywhere from 3-5 business days before your package is prepared to leave the shop.

Once packaged, we select either USPS or UPS for delivery. This decision is made based on a variety of factors including your location (rural vs. urban) and shipping carrier delays. Once your label is printed, you will receive and tracking information sent to the email you provided at check out.

We cannot control how long it takes USPS or UPS to deliver your package – impediments like weather, staffing or other issues are unknown to us. Occasionally packages have been damaged, lost or even stolen in transit as well. We encourage you to review all of our shipping guidelines here, and if you still have questions or an issue with an order please contact customersupport@americandreamnutbutter.com.

***Please keep in mind that both USPS and UPS have been experiencing delays as a result of COVID-19. Additionally, due to the overwhelming number of packages being processed through our local Greenfield USPS facility, processing and USPS tracking information can be delayed up to 7-10 days. USPS has communicated that packages may appear stagnant or in the 'pre-shipment' phase for longer than expected and tracking may not update until your order has been scanned at a larger USPS facility.

Currently we ship across the United States, Canada, the UK and Australia although shipping rates will vary. Please note when shipping internationally, custom rates may apply and will be at the expense of the customer. 

Please keep in mind we are still a small business, run almost solely by family! 

And as a small business, shipping is the largest obstacle we face. What we charge you, the customer, for shipping is actually less than what we pay – in some cases it costs us more to ship an order than the order is valued at.

Additionally, pandemic related inflation has caused shipping carriers to raise their postage and package fees cross the country. American Dream ships through UPS and USPS, 2022 published increases include: USPS Priority Mail and Priority Mail Express will increase on average 3.1% and UPS Ground and UPS Air services have increased an average of 5.9%

To ease shipping costs, we do offer free shipping on US orders over $75, after discounts//taxes.

As with a damaged package, if you believe your package was stolen or inaccurately marked as delivered you will need to reach out to USPS directly.

Once a package leaves our warehouse for USPS processing, your order is out of our hands and delivery out of our control. To file a claim you may visit www.usps.com/help/claims.htm or call the Customer Care Center at 800-222-1811.

Your shipping choice will impact our ability to assist with tracking. Please be advised that American Dream Nut Butter is not responsible for taxes and/or duties or any brokerage and/or delivery fees applied to international shipments.

Also, we strongly recommend that you contact your customs office directly to inquire about import regulations before placing your order, as we will not be liable for packages refused or held for delivery. You are responsible for complying with international, national or local laws regulating the importation of products you may purchase.

If an order is refused by customs, American Dream Nut Butter is not responsible for any losses or fees incurred by you, the customer. If a shipment is abandoned or discarded, you will not receive a credit of any kind. By ordering, you agree to these terms. 

American Dream Nut Butter is not responsible once your order leaves our facility.

In the future, if you select Priority Mail, USPS will reimburse you if they lose or damage your package.

Please note, you will be responsible for filing a claim with USPS, this liability does not fall upon our company. Delivery issues or damage during transit are not our responsibility.

If you have additional questions, please email customersupport@americandreamnutbutter.com for assistance and guidance on how best to file a shipping claim. Please report any shipping issues within 24 hours. We will not be able to address any issues that are reported after that time frame.

It’s true, some of our best sellers – like Breanne’s Blend for example – sell out fast! And because we use carefully sourced ingredients and premium grass-fed, lactose-free whey supplements we often are at the mercy of our suppliers and manufacturers.

We encourage you to sign up for restock alerts if you see your favorite blend is currently out of stock, that way you’ll be the first to know when it’s available again!

Don’t see a blend you adore on the site anymore? Please note that we launch seasonal blends 4-5 times per year, and with each new season past limited editions will need to retire. Be sure to follow along on our social media to learn when your favorite limited editions may be making their comeback.

We currently are on track to launch new blends seasonally, but sometimes innovation strikes and start cooking up something new sooner! Be sure to follow American Dream Nut Butter on Instagram and Facebook to stay in-the-know.

Don't fret! We're always working on adding more flavors to our Squeeze Pack line.

However, please keep in mind we are unable to create Squeeze Packs out of flavors that have toppings. Due to the process of making Squeeze Packs, we are currently only able to make Squeeze Packs of blends that are topping free!

At American Dream Nut Butter our ambassadors are like family! When the ambassador program began, our founder Lea hand-picked each and every one. An American Dream Nut Butter Ambassador doesn’t need to have a huge social media fan base or be an expert content creator, honestly you just need to love our butters as much as we do and be willing to share that with others! AMBASSADOR APPLICATIONS ARE CURRENTLY CLOSED. Thank you to all who have applied during this latest round; we have received an overwhelming response! As we continue to evolve our ambassador program our goal would be to re-open the application process on a quarterly basis.

To learn more about the qualities we look for in an ambassador and receive updates regarding the application process, please visit our Ambassador Program page here. 

At American Dream Nut Butter giving back is at the core of what we do! We love partnering with other brands, influencers and passionate individuals. We welcome creative pitches from content creators, recipe developers, athletes, non-profits and more.

At this juncture we are not pursuing wholesale or distribution inquiries.

At the heart of our brand is a family, passionate about handcrafting high quality products, direct to consumer. That means the jars you receive are always fresh, never sitting on a store shelf or boxed up in a distribution center. To maintain this promise, all American Dream products are created, packaged and shipped directly from our very own hands.

Additionally, due to the rising cost of premium ingredients, labor needs and overall pandemic-related inflation we have had to make the decision to pause on wholesale. Our primary focus is serving our loyal butter family who orders directly from our website.

Lea and Mark started American Dream Nut Butter with the goal of making a serious impact on not only their community, but the world. As a company we have been lucky enough to be a part of and raise money for a number of veterans’ charities and causes close to our heart.

In addition we have donated locally to InteCare, Riley Children’s Hospital and more. Most recently we made a donation to the George Floyd Memorial Fund to help fight social injustice and racism.

In 2021, we created our second charity butter, One Tough Cookie Cashew Butter, and have pledged to donate 100% of sales throughout the month of October to Living Beyond Breast Cancer, honoring those who have been impacted by breast cancer.

You can view additional charitable giving here. We cannot thank our customers enough; your butter purchases make this possible!

At American Dream Nut Butter, it’s no surprise that we support our troops and honor our veterans, which is why we launched our Care Package Program that allows YOU to nominate your own personal hero! Email carepackage@americandreamnutbutter.com with the name and mailing address for a veteran or active duty soldier and we’ll send them a free nut butter care package. We gladly accept APO addresses as well!
