Australian frozen berries supplier Matilda’s has expanded its range to include seasonal mixed berries, blueberries and mangoes.

Third generation strawberry farmers Matt and Ruth Gallace launched their business in response to the Hepatitis A scare of 2015.

Consumers were believed to have eaten contaminated frozen mixed berries, which were imported.

Matilda's berries are all sourced locally from Sunny Ridge Strawberry Farm, which has 800 acres of land in Victoria and Queensland.

Matilda’s also buys in fruit from other Australian growers.

They initially launched with frozen strawberries, and the support for the product has meant they are now able to extend the range.

As with the strawberries, the new ranges will list the exact region where the fruit is sourced.
