Turtle
Food as the language of love, connecting proper nutrition for your body with a delightful experience while respecting the nature around us.
Turtle brand products like cereals, granola, or porridge are an ideal breakfast option for the whole family.
Founded by a married couple living in Belgium, for whom food is a symbol of pleasure and connection among people. Breakfast is the perfect time for them to start the day surrounded by loved ones. Through their products, they aim to provide that special moment to each of us.
The main mission of the products is - nutritional balance, fair trade production, delicious taste, and sustainability.
With Turtle products, your breakfast will be healthy, properly nutritionally balanced, and made with minimal impact on nature.
100% BIO
All our products are made from ingredients grown in organic farming. This method has a lesser negative impact on the environment than conventional farming, using fewer chemical fertilizers and being less intrusive on soil, fauna, and flora.
Groundwater remains clean, bees do not pollinate chemically treated plants, so there are no toxic substances in your breakfast. Thanks to bio certification, you know what you're eating.
Here are the main reasons why we choose organic farming:
- Preserves the quality of our soil.
- Protects our drinking water.
- Fewer pesticides and toxins in food.
- Preserves biodiversity and is better for the natural environment.
- No genetically modified (GM) ingredients are allowed.
Turtle has been certified as an organic product by Certisys BE-BIO-001 from the beginning.
FAIR PRODUCTION
We are committed to purchasing ingredients in a fair and reasonable manner.
PROXIMITY - We buy ingredients from farms near our production facilities. Long-term agreements and cooperation exist between us and our farmers.
FAIRNESS - Our ingredients are purchased in accordance with high social standards set out in BSCI (Business Social Compliance Initiative), SA8000 (Social Accountability), and ILO (International Labor Organization) specifications.
All our suppliers are members of the Sedex organization and ensure fair living and working conditions for farmers who grow our cocoa, sugar cane, and other ingredients that we cannot grow on-site.
HEALTHY AND NUTRITIOUS FOOD
Breakfast must provide you with nutrients and long-lasting energy to start your day well.
Choosing the right combination of macronutrients is important for your brain and body to get what they need for development.
Choose breakfast foods that contain a mixture of carbohydrates, proteins, healthy fats, and fiber. Carbohydrates will give you energy immediately, and proteins will boost you later.
ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS
Taste is an important aspect when it comes to food. Food is one of life's greatest pleasures!
It has been scientifically proven that enjoying food has a significant benefit for your health.
Enjoying food supports digestion, can help improve your relationship with food, can help overcome eating disorders, and much more.
SUSTAINABLY PACKAGED
The main task of our packaging is to enable transportation and preserve the freshness and flavor of our cereals for as long as possible.
We are not perfect, but we do what we can, and we intend to continue improving our sustainability as new materials and technologies become available. Here is a description of what we are currently doing:
Our cardboard boxes are made from 80% recycled fibers, and the outer packaging we use for transportation is 100% recyclable. Both are recyclable.
We are not here to advocate for plastics, but we also cannot avoid their use. Plastic preserves the freshness of food and keeps moisture and other microorganisms out. This protection significantly reduces the amount of food waste.
Plastic is recyclable, so by throwing away an empty bag in the appropriate bin, it gains another life, and the amount of newly created plastic decreases.
