An expert comparison website has determined that Aldi has Australia’s most ‘satisfied’ supermarket customers for fresh fruit and vegetables this year.
This is the second year in a row that the German store has been awarded the title in the Canstar Blue’s Customer Awards.
The supermarket was the only supermarket to receive five stars in five rating categories including ‘value for money’, ‘freshness’, ‘variety’, ‘presentation’ and ‘overall satisfaction’.

After Aldi, IGA is the brand with the best fresh fruit and vegetables, followed by Woolworths and then Coles.
“It’s incredibly rewarding to have our fruits and vegetables rated number one by Aussie shoppers for another year in a row,” said Group Buying Director of Fruit and Vegetables at Aldi Jordan Lack.
Canstar Blue surveyed 2,469 Australians about how satisfied they were with the fruits and vegetables they bought in the past month.

The site chose the winner based on the brand with the most five-star ratings out of five rating criteria.
Megan Birot, Home and Lifestyle Editor-in-Chief of Canstar Blue, acknowledged that Aldi’s excellent performance was particularly commendable because of the ‘supply challenges supermarkets and fresh produce growers have faced over the past year’.
No less than 97 percent of the fruit and vegetables in Aldi comes from Australian farmers and growers.
