Organix Mission
• Why we exist:– To give Children the best start in life
• What we want:– A world where healthy, nutritious food is a real
choice for everyone
• What we do:
Our founding philosophies:
• Always Organic
• No Junk!• Nutritious foods• Safe foods for babies/children• Convenient for mum, not niche
Create Great Foods - Introducing Our No Junk Promise• NJP underpins our brand• NJP is a trademarked stamp of reassurance present
on all Organix Foods• It is based on our beliefs and wish “to give Children
the best start in life with no unnecessary ingredients and the best nutritional practices”
• This is not a legal or industry requirement and the definition of “Junk” is set by Organix
• It’s easy to make foods with them, it’s harder to do it without – but not impossible!
We all live & breathe it!
SAFE• We promise that the levels of harmful pesticides in
our foods will be the lowest that can be achieved or detected.
PURE• We promise to only use ingredients you recognise
and no unnecessary additives or thickeners
NUTRITIOUS• We promise to set strict limits on fats, sugars and
salt that are far tighter than any regulations. By using higher quality ingredients to provide natural flavours and sweetness we believe in natural taste without compromise.
So what is the No Junk Promise?
• No to:• Added salt• Added sugar, sucrose, fructose,
lactose, glucose• Colourings or flavourings –
including “natural flavours and colours” as they come out of a bottle! All our flavour and colour comes only from the food ingredients we use.
• Additives • Emulsifiers • MSG, yeast extract or other
flavour enhancers. • Hydrogenated Fats• Minimal processing aids – have to
be ‘kitchen-recognisable’.
What we say Yes or No to.....
Yes to: •100% Organic Ingredients. •Best nutritional practice – Clear targets for saturated fats, sugar and salt•Clear & honest food labelling•Lowest possible levels of pesticides•Ingredients that are recognisable by parents•Sugar from fruit or fruit juice only

artificially enhanced
Born in 2004!
• Range of foods especially created for babies >12 months to take the “perceived” guilt out of snacking
• Our foods are reinventions of adult snacks – recognisable to mum but with a twist
• Our focus is on taste, texture, nutrition & FUN!• Snacking is essential to little ones – they need 2-3
nutritious snacks a day • Our challenge for “good food” is slightly easier as
babies have not yet been exposed to high salt, sugar & fat foods!

Desired Outcomes from Programme
What have I learnt about being ‘Organix’?
• Give a purpose to what you do – Ask yourself why are you doing something – Do you care if it happens or not
• Think big – Never doubt that a small group of committed
citizens can change the world
• Create a ripple – Think what happens if you don’t do something
• It’s usually very frustrating to yourself• What a missed opportunity.......if only......
– And be inspired by what could happen if you did• It’s usually something amazing that people admire from
outside • And you feel really proud of.......
