Foodbuy Supplier Showcase 2023 — Meet The Unexpected Guest

Indigenous Wholesome Goodness

The Unexpected Guest and their name have significance and illustrate their worldview and the importance of strong values.

“When people read our business, The Unexpected Guest, immediately their face breaks into a smile. Growing up in the country provided a relaxed and casual existence that was simple. Our family always greeted guests/visitors with a cup of tea and whatever food was available. The practice of ensuring people were relaxed when they visited your home continued into adulthood and we maintained the value of ‘always making room at your table for the unexpected guest’.”

The Unexpected Guest presented the opportunity to continue with clean, healthy foods and having Australian Certified Organic products was an absolute no-brainer. We invite you to taste the Australian Indigenous Botanicals in their snacking and ACO-certified Breakfast Mueslis.

“We are a 100% owned Supplied Nation Certified Indigenous business located in Minto, southwest Sydney on Dharawal country.”

They produce Certified Organic Mueslis, Prebiotic Health Bars and Meal Replacement Bars infused with Australian Indigenous botanicals of Lemon Myrtle, Wattle seed, Kakadu Plum and Australian Bush honey. Tapping into the true fabric of Australia by accessing farmers, growers and wild harvesters to create amazing snack bars for everyone.

“We are committed to providing excellent value and have continued to be ACO Certified organic, SGS certified HACCP.”
