As Fry’s already receives a top score in the  Ethical Vegan & Vegetarian Foods sector, we encourage it to get in touch and apply for Ethical Accreditation, after which it will be offered the use of The Good Shopping Guide Ethical Mark.

However we would also encourage Fry’s to gain organic certification in order to improve its score. If it applies for Ethical Accreditation, The Good Shopping Guide would be able to offer some guidance on this.
