Award winning wildlife-friendly RSPB Rice gets
Vegetarian Society seal of approval

The Vegetarian Society is proud to approve RSPB organic brown and white rice.

Grown in Spain’s important wetland area, the Ebro Delta, and distributed in the UK by leading worker’s co-operative, Suma, every pack of the RSPB rice sold raises ten pence for the RSPB’s vital conservation work.

The Vegetarian Society’s Corporate Relations Manager, Vanessa Brown, commented:
“ We are extremely pleased to approve RSPB rice. Most vegetarians are sophisticated, discerning consumers who care about the quality and taste of their food, as well as the environmental and social impact of their purchases. RSPB rice scores very highly on both counts.”

Bryan Bland, RSPB's Corporate PR manage,r said, "We are delighted that RSPB's rice has been approved by The Vegetarian Society. This endorsement recognises that good quality food can be produced in harmony with, and benefiting nature."
