AZC residents shop packaging-free

Ineke Malsch • 13 januari 2025

On Saturday, January 11, 2025, six residents of the asylum seekers' center on Joseph Haydnlaan went to the regular stop of the mobile packaging-free store of Loos Utrecht, at 12:30 p.m. at Buurten in de Fabriek. A woman and five men bought various packaging-free organic groceries with vouchers. With this, we collected additional information from the autumn 2024 trial with subsidised organic groceries on Kanaleneiland. Nuts were the most popular, and some also bought candy.

Participant 1 bought raspberries in chocolate, roasted and salted pistachios, and vegan barourworms for her children. The barourworms are suitable for a halal diet, as it does not contain gelatin based on pig skin. Participant 2 bought roasted and salted pistachios. Participant 3 bought walnuts, chocolate, chia seeds and mixed nuts. His tip for the future is to organize trips to farms to learn more about organic farming methods. In an earlier asylum seekers' center near Maastricht, he worked as a volunteer on a farm. Participant 4 bought mixed nuts, hazelnuts and pistachios. Participant 5 did not want to buy many organic products in the future. The objection is that he has a low-salt diet and is therefore not allowed to eat a lot of salted nuts. Moreover, the doctor discovered in a previous asylum seekers' centre that he has diabetes. That is why he should not eat too many sweets. Now he bought peanuts, pistachios, and mixed nuts, half with and half without salt. 

All participants liked the purchased products, and liked the mobile store of Loos Utrecht. The shopkeeper was also friendly and good. On January 29, I will hang the report of this trip to Loos Utrecht at A Beautiful Mess, during the next meeting that De Voorkamer organizes there.
