Galangal and ginger look alike but behave differently in a dish.
Galangal is firmer and sharper, with more of a citrus-and-pine note than ginger's warm heat. Swap one for the other in a Thai curry paste, and the dish changes character.
Knowing which one a recipe needs, and sourcing it consistently, is part of working in speciality produce. Fortuna supplies both, from premium growers locally and internationally.

Do you only buy from the highest certified suppliers?

For most procurement teams, certification is a baseline requirement, not a preference. It determines which suppliers can be considered, which markets a product can enter, and how much due diligence remains before a supplier is onboarded.
Fortuna Foods holds Halaal Certified (NIHT), Kosher Certified (Beth-Din of South Africa), FSSC 22000, Farming For The Future, SEDEX/SMETA, and the relevant retail audit certifications.
Together these cover food safety, ethical and sustainable sourcing, and religious dietary compliance the areas most retail and foodservice buyers verify during supplier evaluation.
Our team can provide the supporting certification detail for your due diligence on request.
Available to retailers, foodservice distributors, and food manufacturers nationwide.

The solar installation was a business decision, not a branding exercise. It supports production, reduces dependence on grid electricity, and makes financial sense over the long term.

As customer requirements evolve, it's also become relevant in supplier discussions around sustainability and operational resilience.

Sustainable agriculture extends far beyond reducing chemical use.

Farming for the Future is a comprehensive agricultural sustainability standard that considers responsible water use, soil health, biodiversity, integrated pest management and the social conditions of the people working on the land.

These areas are important because responsible sourcing is not only about the quality of the final product. It is also about understanding how that product was grown, handled and brought into the supply chain.

At Fortuna Foods, Farming for the Future forms part of our approach to responsible sourcing and helps us provide procurement teams with greater assurance around traceability, agricultural practices and supply-chain accountability.

For customers asking, “Where does this product come from, and how was it produced?” responsible sourcing standards help provide part of the answer.

Fresh ginger: the speciality sourcing challenge

Fresh ginger may look simple, but sourcing it consistently requires careful handling, suitable storage conditions and experienced growers who understand the category.

For retail and foodservice buyers, quality is about more than appearance. Reliable supply, product consistency, cold-chain management and full traceability all play an important role in ensuring that the ginger arrives as expected.

At Fortuna Foods, our fresh ginger is sourced from selected premium growers, both locally and internationally, to provide the quality, consistency and reliability our B2B customers require.

How Fortuna Celebrates World Food Safety Day 2026

This World Food Safety Day 2026, we celebrated by doing things differently.

Our teams took part in interactive Food Safety Escape Stations – From Burden to Solutions, designed to encourage collaboration, critical thinking and practical food safety problem-solving in a fun and engaging way.

The initiative not only reinforced key food safety principles, but also strengthened teamwork and our shared commitment to building a positive food safety culture across the business.

Because food safety is not just a system — it is a responsibility shared by every person, every day.

f a product says “Best Before,” it refers to quality the product may still be perfectly safe to consume after this date if it has been stored correctly and shows no signs of spoilage.

If it says “Use By,” it refers to food safety this date should not be exceeded.

Understanding the difference can help reduce unnecessary food waste while still keeping food safety a priority.
