QPQ: - Not done
Overall: Article was nominated within 7 days of creation. Earwig picked up an unlikely violation of 3.8%. Article has some grammatical errors (i.e. Rob started growing berries in 2001, he was previously an investment banker. where the comma should be a semi-colon). Some info may be considered promotional, such as the new packaging and the part where they were said to have won "numerous awards" about the packaging but it is unclear as to what awards they won. QPQ is also pending. lullabying (talk) 03:08, 28 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Lullabying: I agree with your sentiment. I could not find what these awards were, and the source was an interview so I've removed it. Do you think it's neutral now? It includes a few negatives (eg fines, possibly misleading packaging) so I would assume it is neutral. I've made a bit of a copyedit but I am very bad at writing. —Panamitsu (talk) 03:39, 28 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- I think it looks better now in terms of neutrality, though I am wondering why the location of where it is sold is mentioned. QPQ still needs to be done. lullabying (talk) 01:31, 8 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  - @Lullabying: Yeah I'm not sure either, so I've removed that line. And the QPQ is finished. —Panamitsu (talk) 01:50, 8 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  - @Lullabying: @Panamitsu: Hi there, I've done some drive-by copyediting. Hopefully the article is now in shape for approval. Cheers, Chocmilk03 (talk) 05:01, 9 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    - Looks good! QPQ also done. Good to go! lullabying (talk) 05:24, 11 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
