A. We asked this question to one of our members, Gro-Bark (Ontario) Ltd., who produce many varieties of mulch. There response is below for the products they produce:

We are unable to speak for all mulch producers, but the colourant Gro-Bark uses is an ironoxide colourant that is non-toxic to plants, animals and humans. If you visit the company website at www.gro-bark.com you access a brochure on Colorbotics who is our colourant supplier.
