Update on our jam, marmalade, chutney and sauce product range

Tracy Mitchell • June 6, 2025

At True Origin, we know many of you love our range of jams, marmalades, chutneys, and sauces from Eswatini Kitchen and have been awaiting an update on their availability.


Unfortunately, after six months, we have still not received any clear answers or reassurances to give us confidence that the food safety issue that came to light in November 2024 has been properly addressed.


As a result, we are not able to restock these products. As a fair trade business, guided by the Ten Principles of Fair Trade, True Origin sought the guidance and advice of WFTO on this matter to ensure that we have done as much as we possibly could to avoid this outcome.


We are, however, seeking a new supplier to continue supporting farmers and producers in the Kingdom of Eswatini and to provide you with fair trade jams, marmalades, chutneys and sauces. We will of course let you know as soon as we have replacement products confirmed. 


The following products are being discontinued: 


• Peach & Ginger Jam

• Lime Marmalade

• Orange Marmalade

• Orange & Cinnamon Marmalade

• Ruby Grapefruit Marmalade

• Medium Curry Sauce

• Swazi Fire

• Lime Pickle

• Mango Pickle

• Vegetable Pickle

• Hot Mango Chutney

• Mixed Fruit Chutney

• Pineapple Chutney

• Piquante Peppers

  • Marula Jelly



The details for the recall are here.

 

Please note that the following jams and sauces are still available as these come from different suppliers:
