Organic
We started out to supply the best quality wholefoods available, and over the years it has become clear that this must mean Organic. This is not just our opinion Newcastle University has found that Organic food has a higher nutritional value than ordinary produce.
The Newcastle team grew fruit, vegetables and reared cattle on adjacent organic and non-organic sites across Europe.
They found up to 40% more antioxidants could be found in organic fruit and vegetables than in non-organic.
‘Organic farming is about working with nature to produce healthy food in a way that can be maintained indefinitely.’
Organic food is protected by law – you can be sure that anything labelled organic and with an organic certification, such as the Soil association symbol, complies with the EU law on organic standards.
This means :
- No Genetic modification anywhere in the food chain
- No pesticides, or herbicides
- No hydrogenated fats or artificial colours
- No unneccesary packaging
- No irradiation or nanotechnology
- Improved habitat for wildlife
- Minimum processing
- On average higher levels of some nutrients than non organic foods
- Higher standard of animal welfare
- Better tasting food
Organic food is certified by several organisations, under the umbrella of IFOAM (International Federation of Organic Agriculture).
These include :
- The Soil Association
- Organic Farmers & Growers

At Naturally Good Food we hold both a processor and grower licence from the Soil Association.
