Rafferty’s Garden Sustainability Profile

Rafferty's Garden is a baby food brand that says it makes healthy, nutritious, natural food for babies and toddlers. Its website says the pouches are made in Australia and that the brand sources fruit and vegetables from farms and orchards. Independent sustainability information is mixed. There are some positive signs around packaging performance and climate disclosure at the wider company level, but there are also concerns about palm oil sourcing, microplastics in some products, and past pollution issues linked to the parent company. Public third-party review data for the brand itself was not found in the material provided.

Common Criticisms:
The public sustainability picture is mixed and includes several concerns. Independent sources say the wider company has been linked to palm oil sourcing problems, including a 2022 investigation that named it among companies sourcing from producers accused of withholding benefits from Indonesian communities. Ethical Consumer also gave the company its worst palm oil rating, and WWF's 2024 palm oil scorecard said it failed to respond to requests for information. Beat the Microbead said the company uses plastic microbeads in some personal care products, which raises pollution concerns, although that issue is about the parent company rather than the baby food brand itself. There is also a past pollution case involving contaminated stormwater at PZ Cussons Australia. No direct Trustpilot review data for Rafferty's Garden itself was found in the material.
