Keells Super has always been in the forefront of ensuring high quality and freshness of all its produce and has established itself as the leader in terms of freshness amongst all supermarkets in Sri Lanka.
From the farm gate to the customer, a stringent quality process is followed to ensure minimum spoilage, wastage and human contact of all its produce, be it fruits, vegetables, meats, seafood or their bakery products.
Keells Super ensures that it receives the first batch of produce from each of their farmers. This guarantees that Keells Super customers receive only the best of the crop and that too within a mere 24 hours of the produce leaving the farm gate.
Speaking about the quality and freshness of the produce at Keells Super, Krishan Balendra, President Retail, John Keells Holdings PLC added, “Freshness is one of the pillars of Keells Super and therefore our focus on freshness comes second to none. From the farmer to the consumer we have implemented stringent quality and freshness control standards and ensure that these standards are maintained right across our operations. Customers walking into any Keells Super outlet can be assured that they are being treated to the freshest produce sourced from the highest quality farms.”

Freshly picked vegetables are enriched with more vitamins and nutrients and when cooked, taste better too. Sigrid De Silva, Senior Dietician and Advisor for Keells Super confirmed this by quoting “Vegetables are an important source of dietary fiber and many nutrients, including Folic Acid, Pro-Vitamin A, Vitamin C and Potassium. Less storage time of freshly picked vegetables prevents excessive loss of vitamins and ensures better taste”
