About Bakkavor

Bakkavor is the UK’s leading provider of freshly prepared foods and is unique in supplying the widest variety of freshly prepared foods on an international scale.

In 2000 we opened our Waitrose dedicated salads factory in Lincolnshire, Wingland Foods. We source salad crops year-round from over 100 growers in the UK, Europe and USA and grow our beansprouts for stir-fries in our own dedicated facility.

Building on our fundamental commitment to procuring safe, high-quality produce, the Waitrose Farm Assessment allows us to promote the principles of sustainable farming with our supply base. Using the Muddy Boots data analysis tools, we are able to identify and share good practices. We have been able to spot opportunities for improvement that are common across several suppliers and initiate projects to help our growers exploit them.
