Remove chemical pesticides from your breakfast

and save insects with every box of cereal!

Insects Need our help

There is a problem with insects: they are disappearing, largely due to pesticides and intensive farming. Insects are essential for pollination, soil health and nutrient cycling, natural pest control, seed dispersal, and waste decomposition. They are also a vital food source for birds, fish, amphibians, and mammals, ensuring the survival and balance of ecosystems. If we don’t act to protect them, we will all be in very big trouble soon.

No chemical pesticides in your breakfast

The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) acknowledges that while single pesticide residues in food are often below legal limits, the ‘cocktail effect’ of combined exposure is not yet fully understood and may pose greater risks.

Because all our ingredients are grown without chemical pesticides and certified organic, your Turtle breakfast bowl is always completely free from chemical residues. Safe for you and your family.

After all, who wants pesticides for breakfast?

Save 500 insects with every box of Turtle

Every box of Turtle cereal, granola and porridge helps protect biodiversity. By choosing ingredients that are 100% free from chemical pesticides, we give insects the chance to survive and thrive, from pollinating plants to feeding birds and other wildlife.

With each box you enjoy, you’re saving around 500 insects. Together we have already saved billions of insects supporting the balance of nature.

Now let's make it a trillion!

OUR MISSION

At Turtle we make organic, pesticide-free cereals that protect insects, support biodiversity, and keep your breakfast safe from chemical residues.

fair production

We are committed to purchasing our raw materials in a fair and sensible way.

PROXIMITY Raw materials are purchased from farms close to the production sites. There are long term agreements and cooperations between our farmers and production sites.

FAIR Our raw materials are purchased according to high social standards, as established in the specifications of BSCI (Business Social Compliance Initiative), SA8000 (Social Accountability) and ILO (International Labor Organization).

All our suppliers are members of Sedex, and ensure fair living and working conditions for the farmers growing our the cacao, sugar canes and other ingredients that we cannot grow locally.

Healthy & Nutritious Food

Breakfast must give you nutriments and long-lasting energy to start your day well. Choosing the right mix of macronutrients is important to give your brain and body what it needs to thrive. For example, choose breakfast foods that contain a mix of carbohydrates, protein, healthy fats, and fiber. Carbs will give you energy right away, and the protein will give you a boost later on.

absolutely delicious

Taste is an important aspect when talking about food. In fact, eating ranks among the greatest pleasures in life!

It is scientifically proven that taking pleasure from food has significant benefits for your health. Savoring food supports digestion, can help improve your relationship with food, can help overcome food disorders and more.

SUSTAINABLY packed

The primary function of our packaging is to enable transportation and to keep the freshness and taste of our cereals, for as long as possible. We are not perfect, but we do our best and intend to continue improving our sustainability as new materials and technologies become available. Here is what we currently do:

Our cardboard boxes are made from 80% recycled fibre and the outer cases we use for transport 100%. Both are recyclable.

We are not here to defend plastic, but we also cannot avoid using it. Plastic preserves food freshness and keeps moisture and other microorganisms out. This protection significantly reduces food waste. Plastic is recyclable, so discarding the empty bag in the proper bin will have another life and reduce the amount of new plastic created.

We use sustainable biobased bubbles when we ship your order from our online shop. They are made from degradable vegetal starch, decompose when in contact with water, and contain no contaminants.
