Organic Food and Ecological Products in Oman... a year later

About a year ago I wrote about the selection of organic food and ecological products in Oman. Now, a year later I am ready to make a short update. There have been some small changes.

Coming back this autumn I noticed Carrefour (at least their Qurum branch) had a special counter for ecological cleaning products - no need to look for them among regular products any more :)

Sultan Center seems to have the best choice of organic food. Sadly, when it comes to cleaning/washing products the situation is similar to other stores: the selection is very poor.

Al Fair has also a good selection of organic food, seems to have more organic products than Lulu or Carrefour.

Still no natural disposable diapers available in Oman :( I have had luck to find Libero diapers with Nordic Ecolabel in a pharmacy in Muscat Grand Mall and this is probably the best one can find here.

Still no organic food store in Muscat but The Organics Food and Cafe from Dubai delivers to Muscat twice per month, well done!

Something else that is in my mind: the squandering of plastic bags. If you go grocery shopping here then all the products that you buy are packed into many and many plastic bags. The persons who help to pack seems to have a system: they divide everything in product groups (i.e. dairy, bread, fruits etc) and then different products go to different bags that means if you buy one pack of butter, apples and bread then you usually end up with 3 plastic bags! In this situation the slogans above the cashiers in Lulu a la "save the planet, use less plastic bags" sound especially ironic.
