While we don't verify specific claims because reviewers' opinions are their own, we may label reviews as "Verified" when we can confirm a business interaction took place. Read more

Pineapple!

I've been looking for the dried pineapple for a while since the Ethical Supermarket stopped stocking it so I was really happy when I discovered that True Origin stocked it. Our daughter loves it!

My order came quickly, but with one item incorrect. I emailed, received a rapid reply, and not only was the correct item sent the next day, but they also sent a bar of chocolate and allowed me to keep the incorrect item, to give to someone else, as I couldn't eat it!
Couldn't have demonstrated the company's concern over their customers better!

Great choice of fair trade food

Great choice of fair trade food . By buying this food we are directly supporting those in other countries who find it challenging to enter the global market otherwise. The food is delicious and easy to order. Deliveries arrive quickly and well packed. Highly recommended!
