Our last two pieces of NPD, Salted Caramel and Jaffa Cake are now our best-selling SKUs. Our aim is to bring new tastes and excitement to the range, ensuring the offering is relevant to consumers and retailer’s needs.
“Choice and variety are the key drivers of growth in this category. To keep driving performance forward, it is important that retailers rotate flavours and create diversity in their range. Alpen Light White Chocolate, Raspberry & Shortcake gives them that option.”
