Ethical food firm The Redwood Wholefood Company is giving away free tasters of its delicious veggie and vegan foods today.
The multi award winning company, which was recently named the UK’s most ethical vegetarian food company by consumer handbook The Good Shopping Guide, is hosting the ‘open tasting’ day at its factory in Corby.
“We’ll be cooking up all sorts of tasty foods, from pizzas and burgers to hotdogs and wraps,” said Redwood’s Lee Rockingham.
“What we want to do is show shoppers and businesses in our home town just how many different products we produce here and give them the chance to ‘try before they buy’.
“They can pop along any time between 11am and 7pm. Anyone who buys on the day will also get a 15% discount.”
Among the many delicious foods produced by Redwood in the town are tasty meat-free ‘turkey’ roasts, streaky style ‘rashers’, award-winning sausages and dairy-free ‘cheeses’.
There are also gourmet burgers, hotdogs, ‘duck with a Hoisin glaze’ and Southern Fried ‘chicken’, all meat-free of course, as well as dairy-free cheeses and fishless ‘fingers’.
Ideal for vegetarians and vegans, Redwood foods are perfect too for people who are lactose/casein intolerant and anyone who wants to cut down on the amount of meat they eat.
Everything in its range is produced from 100% natural plant-based ingredients and free from meat, egg, dairy, lactose, cholesterol, hydrogenated fats, artificial colours/preservatives and GMOs.
As well as selling through health food shops and selected supermarkets, Redwood also produces foods that are used by supermarkets in ‘own-brand’ ready meals.
The company exports worldwide too.
Redwood’s open tasting day will take place at The Redwood Wholefood Company, Redwood House, Burkitt Rd, Corby, NN17 4DT. Tel: 01536 400557.

New register for providers of injectable anti-wrinkle treatments does not go far enough
FRAME (Fund for the Replacement of Animals in Medical Experiments) is pleased that a register is finally being introduced for the cosmetic use of injectable wrinkle treatments – but the controls do not go far enough.
Every batch of the poison used for these treatments has to be tested on animals to establish its strength. Each year, thousands of mice die a slow and painful death, just so that humans can have smooth faces.
The substance used is a toxin produced by a bacterium called Clostridium botulinum. The toxin is one of the most powerful poisons known, but, because it has a natural source, it is impossible to know how strong it is without tests.
Batches are tested by injecting them into mice until the animals are paralysed, and most of them die of suffocation. Although it is used as for cosmetic purposes, the toxin is not governed by restrictions on cosmetic testing because it is injected.
FRAME supports genuine medical uses for the toxin, but believes that all cosmetic uses should be stopped until a humane, non-animal test method can be found.
The new restriction is a voluntary register for providers of injectable treatments such as dermal fillers and anti-wrinkle treatments introduced by the Independent Healthcare Advisory Services.
FRAME Chairman Prof Michael Balls said: “We hope that this new register will bring an end to informal parties, and so will reduce the number of people who have these treatments.
But the real problem with them is the enormous and unnecessary suffering caused by testing the toxin. We want a total ban on its use for non-medical reasons, until these cruel tests are no longer needed.â€
