BrainFood is committed to high animal welfare standards and a sustainable supply chain.

We're committed to the highest feasible levels of animal welfare and environmental stewardship. We're also committed to ensuring the ethical treatment of growers and suppliers down the supply chain.

We believe flying fruit and vegetables is over the top. It's unnecessary and we don't do it. Of course, we do understand that for many farmers, particularly in developing countries, air freighting is an important way to get goods to market and that those goods contribute a great deal towards social and economic development. Unfortunately it's a real sustainability conundrum.

At BrainFood we are supporting developing countries through the sale of, for example, ethically sourced coffee and avocadoes, but these are always shipped rather than air freighted. The environmental impact is lessened and farmers still supported. So whilst we’ll continue to avoid air freighting unless it's absolutely necessary, we’ll always try to balance and consider all sustainability impacts – environmental, social and economic - when selecting our products.

We're proud of the food we sell and ensure that we have a full and thorough understanding of all our ingredients and products – where our food comes from, how it's farmed, reared, harvested, produced and delivered, is of the utmost importance to us. We want to know everything about it. And wherever possible we buy British and seasonal produce, such as asparagus and watercress.

But what's good for the environment?
Why has the price of fresh chicken dropped so dramatically over the last ten years? How can a whole bird be bought for only 5 Euros? What are they doing to it?

Trans-fats, weird bulking agents, strange oils, yield-enhancing drugs and preserving potions – not to mention bucket loads of sugar – are sadly dumped in our food these days. BrainFood, however, is passionate about food. We shun the obscure chemicals, additives and preservatives common to so much of the 'prepared' and 'fast food' on the market today. We do this because natural, fresh food tastes better than processed food. And it's good for you.
