From Health Connection website:

"About

Founded in 1995, Health Connection is a purveyor of high quality, sustainably sourced health food products. Our products help people become the best version of themselves, and we aim to make this choice accessible and affordable for everyone. 

Our ranges are primarily plant-based and include superfoods, sugar alternatives, breakfasts, healthy baking, grains, gut-health, gluten-free, protein supplements and more. We cater to people with food allergies and intolerances, and anyone who wants to eat in a way that is kind to their bodies and the environment."

"We strive to do business in a socially responsible manner; we employ from the community within which we operate; we recycle all raw material packaging; we harvest rainwater; power our factory using solar panels, and within the next year we aim to make at least 95% of our packaging recyclable (currently 39%)

Quality & Safety

Impeccable food safety practices and quality standards are at the core of everything we do. We research and source only the most premium ingredients and we are audited annually, have a dedicated full-time food safety team and hold a valid FSSC 22000 certificate.

Sourcing

We only buy from suppliers who have appropriate food safety programs and certifications in place and we have a supplier audit programme to ensure compliance.

We also visit our international suppliers in countries like Peru, India, Sri Lanka and China to meet the farmers and check the processing facilities meet our standards."
