Parental choice

Bear-Nibbles-all-4-packs

PARENTS are increasingly choosing more wholesome, nutritional food and drinks for their children’s lunchboxes, says Ishen Paran, sales director of Bear Nibbles.
Paran said: “Kantar reported that the proportion of lunch boxes containing crisps has more than halved since the millennium to 19.4% and fruit has risen to the second most popular item in kids’ lunchboxes after sandwiches .”
Paran added that Bear has added 30% year on year growth to the kids’ dried fruit and snacking category in the last quarter with its Yoyos and Claws ranges adding 4.5 times as much value as the nearest competitor.

Stute Foods has added a sugar waffle to its range of juices, jams and preserves.
The BWaffle is packed with a sachet of hazelnut chocolate spread.
Managing director Laurence Hybs said: “We are thrilled to announce that Stute Foods is the sole distributor of BWaffle within the UK.
“We are confident that it will make a successful addition to our ever expanding range.”
