Bonduelle sources the organic vegetables for the products it sells in North America from growers in Canada and the US. The company has a “Canadian organic certification by an independent agency, Pro-Cert, in accordance with the Canadian organic standard”, which is also recognised and approved by the US Department of Agriculture under an agreement between Canada and the US, the spokesperson said.
“All of Bonduelle’s ranges remain composed of local and natural products and committed to ecologically intensive agriculture,” Bonduelle said.
