PRODUCTS AND PACKAGING

All our products are gluten free, naturally! Our production is gluten free, but we do not have the Finnish Coeliac Society Gluten-free Certification. This means that there is a risk of traces of gluten, if the contamination has taken place before the ingredient has arrived to our production.

Our entire selection is gluten free, and we do not process gluten in our factory facilities. We do not possess certification that covers the entire supply chain, and we do not test all the ingredients for traces of gluten.

Almost all Foodin products are vegan, with the exception of whey protein, ghee, bee pollen, collagen and collagen protein bars.

The best before date is marked EXP MM/YYYY on either the backside of the bag or bottom of the can.

Many of our products are still completely safe to use after the best before date. If the smell, texture and flavour of the product remains unchanged, you can use the product in the same way as before. 

Most of our products are tested for heavy metals. We do make exceptions with certain products from specific areas,  like our olive oil and coconut water, and do not test every batch. 

Bacillus Coagulans -probiotics are dairy free and vegan, and they have been tested for dairy allergens. Healthy, balanced gut bacteria improve wellbeing and are beneficial for digestion, nutrient absorption and the immune system. 

Our raw chocolate is vegan and does not contain lactose or dairy.

We do not process eggs or soy in our own facilities, so there is no risk of contamination in our factory. However, we do not test for egg and soy allergens from all of our raw ingredients, so we cannot guarantee that they will be 100% free of allergen residue.

With our coconut milk, coconut oil, olive oil and balsamic vinegar we can guarantee that there are no allergens of soy or eggs.

All of our superfoods and nutrients come from long-term, trusted partners, and every incoming batch is carefully tested. Purity certification is available for all our ingredients.
In addition to certification, our products are examined by government authorities and supervisors, such as Finnish Customs and Eurofins.

As a whole, the use of new superfoods and green powders should not be started during pregnancy, unless they have already been in frequent use before the pregnancy and the body is used to them. There are some exceptions – acerola and lucuma are safe to start even during pregnancy.

Always consult your doctor when deciding on the right diet during pregnancy.

We work hard to develop packaging that is sustainable, recyclable and durable. When packing edible goods, several things have to be considered, from the safety of the materials used to usability, shelf life, logistics and recycling. We have tested biodegradable materials on several occasions, but the durability of the material and the lifecycle of the package is still a challenge. For the time being, we have resulted in using plastic, because it is easily recycled, very durable and ensures the goods stay good for as long as possible. 

The work is not done by any means – we’re currently testing new, exciting solutions for our packages, and once we find the right way to do it, we’ll be sure to bring it swiftly into production!

Our mission is to provide our customers with the best quality organic goods the world has to offer.

If we cannot find the product with a high enough organic standard nearby, we will order it from wherever we can find it. The wellbeing and nutrition of the population plays a vital role in the future of humankind – people that feel well and eat well support the wellbeing of the entire planet. Focusing only on what we can find close by would narrow the selection down by a great deal, and we run risk of missing out on excellent, high-quality organic produce.

In organic farming, the soil is cultivated in rotations to control pests. Different roots and plants make the soil succulent, and it is able to bind nitrogen from the atmosphere to reduce emissions. Everything that is left uneaten in organic farming is returned to the soil, increasing the humus layer.

The primary production of an ingredient makes up most of the entire emissions of a product, and we take care of selecting partners that support biodiversity and environmentally friendly farming. Transportation is only a few percents of the entire footprint of a product, but we try to choose the most sustainable alternatives in shipments as well – the ingredients are shipped by cargo ships and in great quantities.

Foodin is a Finnish family business. We produce and pack almost all of our products locally, and almost all of our packaging material comes from Finland. We abide by collective agreements that are appropriate for our industry, and act in accordance with other applicable laws. 

Almost our entire selection is EU-certified organic produce or grown as a wild natural product. We favour organic and forest farming, and we actively take part in promoting these practices. We work with various partners around the world who represent small farming communities, where they monitor working conditions, prices, pay and support the farmers livelihoods with supplies and increased training and education. 

Production at our Vaajakoski factory is powered by solar power. Solar panels have been built to cover the entire roof of the factory. In addition to solar power in production, we utilise geothermal energy, ground cooling and heat recovery systems. 

We work with parties that promote equality in society and support those who cannot support themselves. We work together with Venner food aid and the Suvimäki clubhouse.
