Foods from around

ounded in 2005, Foods from around the World brings you food from every corner of the globe Their CEO, Johnathon Medway, had the idea for the company

after he spent a year traveling around the world, eating exotic foods in each

country that he visited

Johnathon says, "We buy directly from our producers and all the food you buy from us has the Fainrade guarante_e That means the food is from small-scale

farmers m countries like India, Chile, and Egypt Workers are treated fairly and paid a living wage

So Costa Rican coffee growers and Kenyan tea gr~wers

all earn enough to live on if you buy our products." ThSo, ~ow does the company find new products to sell? ey ave a team of "tasters" who travel around a

d1~erent region of the world, trying food in markets cafes, and fro~ shops and factories The "tasters" th~n

~ake a s~~rthst of their favorite products for the selectors to choose from at the head office F1'nall
