Looking for aura in Fredericton

Aura Foods is a health food store in Fredericton. The products they sell are either all natural or organic. However... they are not so local or Canadian.

I find the majority of their products are from the US. I think this has something to do with items being organic products. I believe, (but please don’t quote me), that to be certified organic, you must meet the US guidelines. This might explain why we carry so many US organic products in all our Fredericton stores.

Aura Foods carry a nice selection of wheat free products; breads, pastas, crackers, flour etc. Due to a few minor health issues I try to limit my intake of wheat to once a week. Since I have been following this regime for almost ten years, I already know the majority of wheat free products are produced right here in Canada.

A couple of new items that I found at Aura this year are pasta and the flax porridge. The pasta is the Artesian Acres brand of kamut spaghetti. It is delicious, organic and a product of Canada. The flax porridge is amazing. It is from Windy Hill Foods…..another Canadian company.
