As part of our customer partnership, your satisfaction is guaranteed. For all products (other than our Bulk products – see note below) if a product is for any reason not up to scratch, or you have discovered better value, we offer a generous, no-quibble 60-day returns policy. You can find full details of the RFS60 Guarantee here.

Products bought in original bulk packaging are not subject to the RFS60 guarantee. Terms and conditions of products bought under the RFS Bulk brand are stated in each product listing and are as follows:
All issues must be quantified and reported within 7 days
All returns are at RFS’s discretion and if found not to be a valid complaint, they will not be accepted.
If more than one carton of a product is delivered, RFS will only accept the return of one open carton.
If several cartons have been opened, RFS will only issue credit for a single return.
We only refund what has been returned. If a significant amount of any item returned has been consumed, we will only provide a refund for the pro-rata value for the amount returned

If you are unsure of the suitability of a bulk product, we advise you buy a small pack to test it first.

We ship all our orders using either Royal Mail or DPD depending on size and value of the order. You can find your tracking code at the bottom of your dispatch email.

We take the environment very seriously. This applies both to our packaging and our drive to have near zero food waste (quite unique for a food company). All our plastic tubs and jars can be recycled along with our see-through packaging.

Our bulk products are sold in the packaging they are delivered in so there is not additional packaging needed, minimising waste.

All the packaging that comes into our warehouse is recycled and we also think it’s very important not to waste food so each year we use or sell all the foods we offer. We would rather sell off foods in our sale area if they are approaching their best before date (note: not expiry or use by date) at a loss than discard them once they are past their date. Where we have leftovers we send them to animal sanctuaries to feed the aninmals.

We are not perfect and still have lots to do but we are quite proud of our achievements to date.

Ethics is at the heart of the RealFoodSource but fair trade unfortunately is not a straight forward question and none of our products are currently marked as fair trade.

We put together this blog post to clarify our stance on why: https://www.realfoodsource.com/2019/08/09/fairtrade-why-we-arent-registered-with-the-fairtrade-foundation/

We are certified organic by the Organic Food Federation. After considering other certification bodies in the UK we believe this was the best choice for our business, the Organic Food Federation is at the forefront of promoting organic methods and maintaining high standards and best practice.

Many of our products are organic, and those that are not have been selected as the very best alternative at the most cost effective price point we can source, ensuring our products are accessible to all.

The RealFoodSource team are passionate about balancing food quality and value while reducing food waste, while being honest and transparent about Real Foods, and love supplying our customers who share our values. Therefore, as part of our customer partnership, we offer a generous no-quibble 60-day returns policy.

Please contact our customer service team outlining the issue and they will send a prepaid label for you to return the product.

Please ensure when returning the product:

1. Must be returned in original packaging.

2. Must be returned within 7 working days of receipt of this returns label, else the label expires.

3. If a significant amount of any item returned has been consumed, we will only provide a voucher to the pro-rata value for the amount returned.

4. We only refund one item of the same product, so please do not open multiple bags of the same product. If you don’t like one bag of whole almonds, for example, don’t open others as they will be the same.

However, as taste and quality is often subjective, we simply ask our customers to consider the following before returning and help our mission to keep prices low while reducing food waste.

All our products adhere to our strict supplier quality specifications and we perform diligence checks including visual and taste checks prior to packing all our products internally. We will never knowingly sell anything below RealFoodSource quality standards, which are well above industry standards.

While we find homes for any returned foods such as animal use, the extra transportation and processing significantly adds to food waste and increases costs and therefore prices, so we ask you to please be certain you can not use any product before returning.

You can read more about our return policy here: https://www.realfoodsource.com/rfs35-guarantee/

As our systems are highly automated, we are unable to amend orders including adding items, removing items and merging orders together. If you would like to cancel your order so that you can reorder as required, please get in contact with our customer service team as soon as possible. If you ordered via an account on our website then you can quickly recreate orders by selecting ‘My Account’ > ‘Orders’ > ‘Order Again’. Please note, once an order has been dispatched, we are unable to amend/cancel it.

Get in contact with our customer service team as soon as possible and they can update this for you. When emailing ensure to include your order number and the correct address so our team can change this for you. Please note, once an order has been dispatched, we are unable to change the shipping details.

I am afraid we don’t do samples. Our aim is to keep our prices and margins low for everyone and this would involve opening and discarding retail packs due to food regulations.

We recommend that all products are stored in a cool dry place, in an airtight container/packet, to keep the product in the best condition for longer.

As our products are non-perishable, they have best-before dates as an indication of quality. Whereas products that will go ‘off’ will display an expiry date of when the product should not be consumed after. All of our products have at least 3 months best before date unless otherwise on promotion and stated in the product title. For further details on this please see our article: https://www.realfoodsource.com/2016/08/10/best-before-dates/

If you are looking for the best before date on a product you have purchased, you will be able to locate the Best Before Date on the right-hand side of the product label, underneath the weight and between the Batch no. and Country of Origin. If you are having any issues locating this, please send an image of the product label and we will advise the BBD.

Any potential allergens will be detailed on the product listings description and product image. If gluten is not listed as an allergen, then has been confirmed on the product specification as less than 20 parts per million as per the level of gluten free requirements.

Our standard allergens are ‘May contain traces of milk, nuts, peanuts and soya’. This is because we pack these products on our premises. Whilst all care and due diligence is taken to prevent cross-contamination, this cannot be guaranteed.

All other ‘May contain’ allergen statements come from source and are given to us by our suppliers.

Although the product itself is vegan (containing no animal products) however we pack a very small percentage of products which contain dairy in our building (in a separate room however). As dairy is an allergen, we have had to declare that as it may have traces of dairy. We explain in much more detail in this blog post here: https://www.realfoodsource.com/2018/05/14/62059/

As there is no legal definition, nor any regulations on raw claims, we do not get involved in these types of claims. If a product is roasted, cooked, baked etc we will advise in the product description and title, else our products are as ‘raw’ as any other.

For more information on raw cocoa claims see our blog post: https://www.realfoodsource.com/2014/09/30/can-cocoa-ever-be-truly-raw/

I’m afraid we don’t do discount codes. The concept of the RealFoodSource is to make healthy eating affordable for everyone so we keep our prices and margins very low and we simply can’t reduce further. We believe all customers, new and those who buy from us again should get the very best prices!

We are confident however that if you fill your basket with the same items of the same quality from other companies, we believe the total checkout price will be less when buying from us after their codes have been applied. More details of our simple lowest pricing is explained in our blog post here: https://www.realfoodsource.com/2017/03/19/why-we-dont-do-discount-codes/

We have made a lot of effort to make this version of our site modern and up to date (last major update, Nov 2021), to support as many browsers and device types as possible. Unfortunately, it is not practical to support the over 2000 current possible browsers out there.

We try to ensure that up to date, mainstream browsers are supported, so if you do have a modern, mainstream browser that is within the last three versions of the current latest release, we would normally expect our website and shop to work correctly on them. It often works on many more but we all want a secure service so we aim to keep following the industry guidelines and keep the browsers and systems up to date.

If you are having problems with the site or ordering process, we’ll do our best to help. If you visit https://www.whatsmybrowser.org/ then copy the generated link and send that to us, it will greatly assist our efforts in tracking down any issues.

An up to date browser check is here, for reference https://browser-update.org/update-browser.html

We have invested significantly in the safety and security of our website, in fact we take the data security and safety of our customers details as seriously as we take our commitment to food safety and quality.

We have built a secured site, that ensures that all communications between your device and our servers is fully encrypted and hidden from prying eyes.

We don’t store credit card information at all, we pass the information via secured links to our payment providers and they authorise the transaction using single use tokens that are only relevant for a single purchase. We have no record of the card number stored on our systems. For payment processes like PayPal, we use a similar operation.

We only store Billing and Shipping addresses and the order details, which is the minimum required to fulfil orders, behind multiple firewalls in a Microsoft Azure Data Centre. https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/blog/3-reasons-why-azure-s-infrastructure-is-secure/

Independent, third party testing of our site by Qualsys SSL Labs https://www.ssllabs.com/, shows us to have a secured A+ ecommerce site.
