"Beyond consumer expectations which are reinforced around the French origin, the commitment of our brands Materne and Pom’Potes on the subject is not new. Since 2012, we guarantee our consumers the French origin of our conventional apples.
Today, we are proud to also be able to guarantee them a French origin for all our organic apples. In addition to the crucial role of our purchasing department on this subject, this result is also the fruit of a very hard work of our quality teams, R&D, supply and factory since we have, to achieve this, from an organic fresh apple dock, ”says Nadia Mehl Verzeaux, Marketing Director France of the MOM Group.
