FAQ — The Froot Thief

We source our ingredients responsibly, and only work with suppliers who are committed to fair social and environmental standards. This helps us manage our impact on the planet and people.

We normally recommend our Froot whips for all thieves from 2 - 99 years old. However, we would recommend that Adults always supervise while kids eat our products.

Yes, our froot snacks are made from just fresh fruit and a splash of fruit juice so they are perfect for vegans.

Yes! All of our products are certified Pareve by UOS (the certifying body in South Africa where our products are made). We recently changed our packaging to say “Kosher,” where we had formerly displayed the certifying body logo from South Africa, as most American consumers weren’t familiar with the South African Kosher logo (understandably), and were generally only realizing that we are certified Kosher from word of mouth.
You will find us listed on the UOS website. If you require a copy of our certificate, please feel free to give us a shout and we will send it your way.

While we think standards like organic are really valuable, sticking only to organic wouldn’t give us the flexibility to be able to buy the quantity, quality and variety of ingredients we need. It also wouldn't allow us to support small farmers or cover all the sustainability issues that matter to us.
That doesn't mean we're fans of pesticides! Our standards rally against the use of any of the 'dirty dozen' pesticides listed by the Pesticide Action Network.
 To make sure our SNACKS are safe, we carry out independent tests on our ingredients at an accredited laboratory throughout the harvest calendar.  Each year our policy is reviewed and testing procedures are updated. quality and safety matter to us.

Our cardboard display cases are fully recyclable AND we use only FSC certified or recycled board.
The current Froot whips packs COULD be recyclable at specialist sites, but probably not in your home recycling scheme right now.  We are working on projects to make our packaging recyclable / compostable.
The biggest challenge we face here is that we don’t put preservatives in the Froot Thief so we rely upon the protection of our packaging to keep the products fresh and delicious.

We don't add any refined sugar or syrups to our snacks. The ONLY sugars in our products are naturally occurring, from real fruit and fruit juices.
We always aim to keep our total sugar levels as low as possible & our froot whips contain the same natural sugars as a fresh peach.
We recommend that young bandits eat a varied and balanced diet with a wide range of healthy, tasty foods.

We are committed to making delicious products that are good for kids & their snack raiding parents.
To make sure our snacks are tasty, and have a long shelf life, we use a special baking process that makes sure the product is completely safe while still maintaining as many nutrients as possible.
The SNACK pouches are sealed air-tight in strong packaging which protects the food and keeps it fresh.

Our plant fiber consists of food grade (plant-based) cellulose, extracted from quality citrus peel. It's free from all major allergens.

Fear not…what you’re seeing is the plant fiber dusting that we apply to our whips to cut down on the natural fruit stickiness. It’s as effective as the nasties that conventional brands use, but waaaay healthier.
