WHOLEY MOLY: Meenesh Mistry (founder Wholey Moly) says- ‘As vocal champions of the nation’s most loved and enduring comfort food we’re proud of our contribution to the fact that healthier living biscuits now account for 26% of all UK biscuits sold.  We refute that a resolute commitment to healthier-living biscuits should ever mean dumbing down our commitment to amazing flavours and best-in-class ingredients.  That’s not to say we will ever become idle in our fantastical flavour commitments, because only earlier this month we added a sublime Pistachio & Lemon to our flavour swapped out cacao for chocolate in our other two flavours and fine-tuned every recipe to create 3 fuller, less crumbly/more soft-centred cookies.’

Sainsburys push will consist of: Pistachio & Lemon, & Chocolate Hazelnut £1.50 rsp per 38g treat

WE LOVE PURELY: Stef Pellegrino (founder We Love Purely) reaffirms: ‘snacking is an integral element of the UK foodscape so the question was never one of dampening UK snacking appreciation but combining the very best World Cuisine/healthier eating principle domestically adored flavour profiles. We’re naturally proud of our pledges to no palm oil, lower fat/higher fibre compositions however its our HFSS compliance and far-reaching commitments to *Caring Capitalism that puts us at the very vanguard of responsible snacking.’

Sainsbury’s Push: Wild Garlic & Sea Salt £2 RSP per 75g sharing bag                                                                      

Past winner of Veggie, Nourish PEAS (Product Excellence) & Best of Health Awards     

Caring Capitalism: We Love Purely has supported Ecuador’s Casa Hogar de Balen caring centre since June 2020, a non-government funded initiative which gives shelter, food and hope to children who have become unwitting victims of the region’s ever worsening ‘food poverty’ slump.

FUTURE BRANDS: Both brand owners agree that Sainsbury’s Future Brands initiative is a godsend for any ambitious challenger brand looking to make the transition from online/health store/independent hero to supermarket stalwart and that the growing pre-eminence of better-for-you brands within the Future Brand showcase only reaffirms Sainsbury’s long-standing commitment to healthier tomorrows.
