So what happens when you are unable to eat everything, or have special dietary requirements? Head over to Ryan’s Grocery, where they have alternative organic specialty food ready for different needs!
About Ryan’s Grocery
First launched in 2015, Ryan’s Grocery is a family-owned food importer, wholesaler and retailer. Specifically, they provide and distribute alternative gourmet, organic and allergen-/preservative-free specialty food, imported directly from farms in Australia, United States and Europe. Through their grocery, they hope to provide an alternative healthy choice of products to partners and consumers through responsible sourcing and quality services.
Journey Of The Grocery
It all began when two of the founders, Sebastian and Wendy Chia, discovered their their child Ryan, had an intolerance to gluten, dairy, nuts, soy, egg and yeast. Therefore, they started venturing out beyond the local market for food suitable for Ryan. Besides visiting online retailers, they even made personal trips internationally to source for a better range of dietary products to support Ryan and the local community with different food intolerance. This dedication to help paved the way for their Alternative Section, as well as it’s grocery front: Ryan’s Grocery!
