According to Seattle's Child magazine, Frankie & Jo's is B-Corp certified and therefore "committed to sustainability, addressing climate change, organic practices, fair supply chain practices, taking care of its employees and supporting the community".[4]

The business also makes waffle cones from scratch, using oat flour.[10] The cookies and shortbread use oats and vegetable oil.[12]
