During February and March Mr Organic took part in the Whole Planet Foundation campaign to raise funds for the global charity.

Mr Organic’s Healthy Choice sauces – Basilico, Bolognese and Chilli Arrabbiata – were part of a ‘scanback’ scheme in Whole Foods Market through which the brand donated 12p from each sale to the Whole Planet Foundation charity.

Mr Organic raised an impressive £129,801 through the campaign, which in total managed to gather a massive £2,276,604, £33,526 above its initial goal.

Through this, the campaign aims to help alleviate global poverty and support disadvantaged people to create a better life for themselves and their families.
