Ingredient Sourcing & QualityUpdated 4 days ago
While our ingredients are not organic, we place great importance on where our food comes from. We carefully select trusted suppliers to ensure our meals are high quality, nutritious, and great tasting.
Meat
All of our meat is sourced through W. Bunting, a local family butcher. Their beef, lamb, and chicken come from their own farms and trusted partners across Norfolk and the South East.
Eggs & Dairy
Our dairy products and free-range British eggs are sourced from a trusted local UK supplier to ensure freshness and quality.
We’re committed to knowing exactly where our ingredients come from, so you can feel confident about every meal.
Organic Claims
There are strict laws around when businesses can use the claim ‘organic’ on their products and packaging. In order to do this, the business selling the product has to apply and pay for organic certification from a recognised certification body (such as the Soil Association), which is a very costly and complex process.
As a small business, this is unfortunately not viable for us at the moment, however, our ingredient quality and standards are our highest priority. Be aware that many small brands use the organic claim when they haven’t actually been certified; we would love to be able to do this also but we are sticklers for the rules!
Cooking Oils
Some of our meals contain a small amount of British cold-pressed rapeseed oil.
We understand that some customers have questions about seed oils. That’s why all of our ingredients are carefully reviewed with our children’s dietitian, Lucy Upton, to ensure every meal is safe, balanced, and nutritionally appropriate for little ones.
Where possible, we use cooking methods that don’t require oil. However, a small amount of rapeseed oil may occasionally be used to support the cooking process. It’s also included in some products, such as pancakes and courgette bites, where a fat is needed to bind the ingredients (especially in vegan recipes).
In the UK, food production standards are very strict. UK rapeseed oil comes from “double-low” varieties with low erucic acid levels, meaning the amount used in our meals is minimal.
We don’t use any other seed oils, and you can be confident that every ingredient is carefully selected and approved by our dietitian.
Additional Information
Our meals are not halal-certified. We source our meat from trusted UK suppliers and butchers to ensure it is high quality and safe, but it does not meet halal certification standards.
Our meals are not pasteurised. Instead, they’re freshly cooked just as you would at home, then rapidly frozen to lock in nutrients, flavour, and quality.
