The Redwood
Wholefood Company is the most ethical
vegetarian food firm in the UK according to The Good Shopping
Guide.
Every year, the consumer handbook reveals ‘the good, the bad and the ugly’ of the country’s companies and brands, giving each an ethical score out of 100 based on factors such as animal welfare, the environment and workers’ rights.
This year Corby-based Redwood – which produces over 50 different cruelty-free foods under the Cheatin’, Cheezly and Vegideli brand names – scores 96%, the highest rating of any vegetarian food company included.
Others brands featured are Linda McCartney which scores 75%, Realeat (75%), Cauldron (71%), Quorn (71%), Fry’s (67%), Wicken Fen (67%), Dalepak (63%) and Tivall (54%).
“While some are undoubtedly cashing in on a well-meaning but time-poor veggie community, others are producing genuinely innovative vegetarian and vegan products,” reports the guide. “One such company is Redwood Wholefoods.”
Commenting on the rating, Nigel Phillips, Redwood’s managing director, said: “I am delighted to be heading up such an ethical company. Although we are at the top of the class we are not going to sit back but continue to move forward with the aim of getting that 100% spot.”
All Redwood foods are made from 100% natural plant-based ingredients and free from animal products/derivatives, cholesterol, artificial colours/preservatives, lactose, hydrogenated fats and GMOs. They are also kosher certified.
You’ll find them in good health food stores including Holland and Barrett, selected supermarkets and online at www.redwoodfoods.co.uk.
