JAS-certified organic, naturally farmed fresh frozen french fries from Belgium, the birthplace of french fries. Available as a set of two 300g packs (total 600g), or a discounted bulk 1kg (2.2lbs) bag. No use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides. GMO-free. Straight cut to 12mm (7/16"). These potatoes are pre-fried in organic sunflower oil and only require a few minutes in hot oil or oven until crispy brown. For best and tastiest results we recommend cooking in sunflower oil and sprinkle with our high-quality Maldon Sea Salt.

Additionally, the storage, processing, and distribution of all raw materials and harvested products are strictly controlled to prevent contamination with outside pesticides and genetically modified organisms.
About Certified Organic
This product is certified Japan Agricultural Standard Organic (JAS) - both in the country of origin and Japan. Japan has one of the world's strictest organic certification standards. But what does certified organic mean when it comes to fruits and vegetables?
✔ Strictly tested for E Coli, coliforms, molds, yeasts as well as listeria and salmonella and therefore meets very high microbiological safety standards.
✔ Free of harmful synthetic chemical inputs such as fertilizer, pesticides or any food additives.
✔ Free of genetically modified seeds (non-GMO)
✔ The farmland and soil in use are free of any chemical treatments.
✔ Organic produce is heavily regulated. Producers and importers are checked and inspected by governmental bodies or certified third parties. Organic certification requires detailed bookkeeping and documentation for 100% traceability. "Certified organic" is a protected phrase and the use is legally restricted.
✔ Organic farming is more sustainable when it comes to holistic food production. The lack of harmful pesticides is better for the environment.
✔ Organic produce comes mostly from family-owned farms that own smaller acres of organic land.
It is also important to mention that organic produce is more cost-intensive. Organic farming has lower yields compared to conventional farming and is oftentimes more labor-intensive as well. Additionally, organic certification and audits require annual fees for producers, exporters, and importers resulting in higher prices for the end consumers.
