The fibre con

About 10 years ago when we were telling people saturated fat was an essential nutrient, and "low fat diets" were far from healthy, a lot of people freaked out.

Now if we start telling people that high fibre diets are are also very unhealthy, we suspect there may be some reaction.

Of well, nevermind!

You probably have been repeatedly told that fibre prevents colon and breast cancer, lowers cholesterol, reduces the risk of heart disease, regulates blood sugar, wards off diabetes, curbs the appetite, induces weight loss, cleanses the colon, arrests diarrhoea, and unplugs constipation.

Toxic Canola Oil

This is off-putting enough and they don't even mention that it's GMO!

Wheat Belly

This book is great - highly recommended - really good summary of how wheat causes obesity, diabetes, and a range of other diseases.

And it also explains why most commercial "gluten free" foods (high starch) are just as bad as the wheat.

FRESH UP imports apples from China

“At Frucor, we set ourselves the highest possible standards and are always on the look out for ways to do things better.

Whether it’s thinking improved nutrition, looking after the community or protecting our environment, we take social responsibilty seriously”

So how does selling Chinese tinned apple sauce fit into that?


I used to like eating the stuff, and am appalled that NZ grown apple products have been replaced by Chinese ones


It’s a shame that we can no longer use or recommend such an iconic NZ brand as Fresh Up…..



“Quality is everywhere at Frucor. When we're creating a new product, we listen to you.”



NZ organic products are what we are looking for. Price is not crucial. Please create a new product range!

Dear Ian,


Thank you for your feedback.


The reason we have had to change the product is because the New Zealand manufacturer decommissioned their production line. 
You can be assured however that the product from China meets our rigorous quality standards. 


I appreciate that there has been negative publicity about various products from China which unfortunately is caused by a small minority of disreputable operators.


That should not however detract from the fact that China produces a vast amount of high quality produce which is used by the worlds leading consumer goods companies. 


Without Chinese produce there would be insufficient world supply of many of these products, and that includes apple based products.


You will be pleased to know however that our Fresh Up fruit juice range is still made from 100% New Zealand grown apples as it has been for the last 48 years. So long as reasonably possible we will keep it that way.

Kind regards,

Carl Bergstrom
CEO Frucor - New Zealand
