All our products are developed in strictly controlled environments, ensuring we never compromise on safety, quality ortaste.Sainsbury’s SO Organic. Food you can trust. This is Sainsbury's range of products where we have developed anorganic alternative to most mainstream products. All organic farms and food companies are inspected at least once ayear. The standards for organic food are laid down in European law, so a licence is required to grow process andmarket organic products. Farming practices aim to encourage wildlife and promote optimum soil health.How to read Sainsbury’s labelsThe following products are considered by Sainsbury’s to be obviously suitable for vegans and are thereforeexcluded from vegan labelling:Loose and pre-packed unwaxed fruit, vegetables and salad vegetablesCooking oilsPlain (unseasoned flours)Salt, Pepper, Herbs, Spices and Curry PowdersDried Fruit and Plain NutsNon-stuffed olives, vinegar and plain pickles (i.e. those not in sauces).Plain RiceAll Plain Fresh, Dried, Canned and Frozen Fruit and Vegetables.Coffee and Plain WaterPlain dried Pulses.All other products contained in the following list are suitable for vegans and will be labelled on the back orfront of pack with the logo below:Nutrition information for vegansExcluding cows’ milk from the diet can potentially lead to inadequate intake of certain nutrients including some Bvitamins and especially calcium. Alternative sources of calcium include fortified soya milk and soya products, fortifiedcereals and bread, dark green leafy vegetables and pulses. Calcium from some of these sources (e.g. pulses andcereals) is less well absorbed than from milk and dairy so you may need to take in larger amounts.Iron: Plant sources of iron include dark leafy green vegetables such as sprouting broccoli or kale, whole meal bread,apricots, lentils, pulses and fortified breakfast cereals. However, iron from vegetable sources is not as well absorbedby the body as iron derived from red meat. One way of increasing the efficiency of iron absorption is to eat the foodwith a good source of vitamin C. For example, have a glass of orange juice with your breakfast cereal.
