Imports from Europe
We can't yet know the full impact the new post-Brexit import regulations will have on supply and prices. We buy most of our European produce through Langridge Organics, who predict "We are still going to see significant disruption to imports over the next few weeks. We are doing all we can, working with our suppliers, to limit any effect this will have on availability."
Allergen information: GC's Hackney and Dagenham mixed organic salad contain a mix of seasonal leaves, including mustard and celery. Ripple Farm salad contains a mix of seasonal leaves, including mustard.
