Sustainable sweetcorn

Introducing Freshlock by Barfoots, award-winning sustainable growers: an exclusive innovation bound to satisfy the appetites of busy health-conscious consumers seeking convenient solutions – as well as those following free-from and plant-based diets.

Freshlock sweetcorn is free of artificial preservatives and additives and high in fibre, while providing consumers with one of their five a day. Suitable for consumers following gluten-free, vegetarian and vegan lifestyles, it’s available in a variety of formats: cobs, cobettes and bites. Not only is Freshlock sweetcorn delicious, but it’s convenient too – ready to eat, it takes just a couple of minutes to reheat.

By gently processing sweetcorn, this new technology from Barfoots extends its life while retaining its natural goodness. In fact, the life of sweetcorn is extended by 10 times that of fresh sweetcorn – allowing stock levels to be managed more efficiently and waste to be reduced.

What’s more, Barfoots are sweetcorn experts; the UK’s largest grower and importer of sweetcorn, the team pioneered the mass supply of supersweet corn to British retailers during the late 1980s and 90s. Barfoot’s farm on the South Coast is perfectly located for optimum sweetcorn production – the highest light levels in the UK and the natural windbreak of the Isle of Wight create the highest quality and sweetest corn. Plus, Freshlock is made in a factory powered by veggie waste and solar energy, catering for the growing consumer demand for better while protecting the environment.

Sustainably-produced, convenient and sweetly delicious – Freshlock is ideal for the fine food shopper of 2025.
