We highlight new products that Scottish c-store retailers might want to stock
1. Bebeto Forest Fruits
HALAL-CERTIFIED sweets brand Bebeto has expanded on its range with the new Forest Fruits treats.
This indulgent sweet delivers a burst of fruity flavour with a gooey strawberry centre wrapped in a soft, foam-backed gummy.
Available in three vibrant flavours – Cherry, Strawberry and Raspberry – the new confectionery comes in a 130g hanging bag format with an RRP of £1 per pack. All three are halal and free from artificial colours and flavours.
The new sweets are available in Iceland, Parefetts, Bestway and Dhamecha locations across the UK now.
Phil Hulme, commercial director at parent firm Kervan Gida UK, said: “Bebeto has revolutionised the confectionery market with trend-led products that resonate with today’s consumers.
“Our Freeze Dried range alone has generated £3million retail sales value since launch, proving the innovative textures and formats drive demand.”
2. Robinsons Orange & Mango RTD juice
FRUIT juice brand Robinsons has launched a new flavour in its ready-to-drink (RTD)range, namely an Orange & Mango offering.
Appearing on shelves alongside the range’s Raspberry & Apple and Blackberry & Blueberry variants, the new Orange & Mango drink comes in a 500ml bottle in both plain and £1.15 price-marked packs. The plain format has an RRP of £1.79 per bottle.
Ben Parker, VP sales off-trade at Carlsberg Britvic, said: “Orange & Mango is the perfect addition given its popularity and we see it becoming a core part of our growing range as a refreshing and fruity on-the-go option for shoppers.”
3. Florette Spicy Salad and Caesar Salad bowls
BAGGED salad brand Florette has expanded its range with two new Salad Bowl options.
Rolling out from 5 May, the Florette Spicy Salad comes with an RRP of £2.50 and offers a bed of crisp, mixed leaves, peppers and tomatoes with a Peri-Peri dressing for an extra kick.
Alongside this, Florette will also introduce its new Caesar Salad Bowl, which has Romaine lettuce with a tangy Caesar dressing, crunchy black pepper croutons and Parmesan cheese shavings. This will land on shelves from mid-June. Both come with RRPs of £2.50 per bowl.
4. Fridge Raiders Chicken Grills
CHICKEN snacks brand Fridge Raiders has added something new to the chiller with its innovative Chicken Grills range.
Available across major retailers, Fridge Raiders Chicken Grills offers consumers packs of mini fillets in two flavours: Tandoori Mini Fillets and Roast Chicken Mini Fillets. Both come in single packs or packs of three.
Chris Doe, marketing director at Pilgrim’s Europe, said: “We’re redefining meat snacking by attracting an entirely new group of health-conscious consumers.”
5. Fairfields Farm Chorizo & Red Wine crisps
ARTISAN crisps brand Fairfields Farm has launched a new limited-edition flavour Chorizo & Red Wine.
Inspired by the growing consumer demand for more bold and rich tastes across snacks, the new crisps come in 150g sharing packs and provide a hefty paprika hit to the taste buds to mirror chorizo, with some red wine undertones to complement this.
