Gerber Juices and Cuba

Further to comments about the ethics of buying Cuban products sold in the UK under the Fruit Passion label packaged in the UK by Gerber Juices of Bridgwater in Somerset. Gerber Juices are a contract packaging company who package juice for a large number of other brands indeed they produce most of Europe’s packaged juices. Gerber Juices is owned by London based Hannover Acceptances which is a private equity group which in turn is owned by Luxemburg based Quadriga Holdings SA . Which is 100% owned by Manfred Grovy and his family. Grovy who according to the Sunday Times Rich List is (or maybe was) worth £260million was originally from South Africa.
The US Gerber foods have gone through several incarnations from when it began as a leading producer of baby foods. It is now owned by Nestle. Whether this information makes buying fruit passion a good or bad thing I leave readers to decide the juice is 100% Cuban and fair trade the packaging maybe not what we would like but I don’t think that the Cubans should suffer for our inability to tame capitalism.
Yours fraternally,
