Whole Kids was founded in 2005 with one simple purpose - to make it easier for parents to provide a healthy, happy life for their children. Fed up with foods full of artificial additives and very little nutrition, and unethically marketed to kids, founders Monica and James Meldrum decided enough was enough. It was time for a change.
Whole Kids is the first Australian kids food company to become certified organic and we've grown to offer the largest range of organic kids and toddler foods in Australia.
As recognition of our industry leading innovation, Whole Kids is the first food Australian food business to be certified as a B Corp and one of the founding members of B Corporation Australia. We make profits with a purpose, and our aim is to bring about long-term sustainable change in the way food is sourced, manufactured, distributed and ethically marketed to children (and families).
Through our community partnerships with organisations like Plan Australia, we strive to improve children’s health and wellbeing through innovative and impactful projects. Whole Kids recently provided over 500,000 breakfasts to children in Cambodia.
