Organic food at M&S
Our organic products come from trusted sources, so whatever you’re buying, when you choose organic, you know you’re eating food as it should be.
What is organic produce?
All M&S own label products are made with no artificial colours and no genetically modified ingredients. In addition to this, whenever you see the organic label, it means it's been produced with fewer pesticides, no routine use of antibiotics and no manufactured herbicides.
Organic farms are inspected at least once a year, so choosing organic means you are supporting sustainable farming practices with high animal welfare, and a traceable production process.
At M&S, our organic range includes everything from fish and seafood to fresh fruit and veg, milk, eggs and meat. Look out for the organic label on products in the M&S Foodhall or on Ocado.
Why choose organic?
...Know what's in your food...
Organic standards prohibit genetically modified ingredients, hydrogenated fats and controversial artificial colourings and preservatives (which all M&S own label products already adhere to), so you know you're eating food as it should be.
...Support animal welfare...
Organic farming adheres to strict animal welfare standards because organic food is always free range, and organic animals must be reared on a GM-free diet.
...Protect our wildlife...
Organic farming helps protect precious British wildlife, because organic farmers don’t use herbicides, which is good news for the birds and bees.
Meet our organic banana grower
“Why do we grow organic bananas? We’re convinced organic fruits and vegetables are the future. To give the next generations a chance, we have to start using a more organic approach of agriculture,” explains Julie Vermeiren, CEO of Fresh Fruit.
The family-run company is located in the Dominican Republic, a country that provides the particular micro-climate organic bananas require to grow and thrive.
Environmental responsibility, Fairtrade and social projects are at the heart of Fresh Fruit’s ethos: “Our mission is to grow delicious, high-quality organic bananas in a socially and environmentally responsible way.
"This benefits our bananas, our planet and our entire production chain, from farmer to consumer.”
