The Kimchi revolution is here! 🥒 The new and emerging Chilled Pickles and Kimchi category has seen incredible value growth of 60% in the past 52 weeks. A lot of this is down to the growing number of consumers that love Asian flavours. As the biggest brand in this category, and recently named Food Brand of the Year by The Grocer, Vadasz is driving this growth with our bestselling Kimchi. Here's why…  🥒The Korean food craze in out of home has translated into grocery, and kimchi offers an easy way for shoppers to tap into this trend and elevate meals at home. It can be scooped onto burgers on the BBQ or added to salad bowls and wraps. 🥒Chilled, not ambient, our Kimchi has a bolder taste and crunchier texture, all while retaining its gut health credentials as it's not pasteurised. With 84% of consumers looking to improve their diet year on year, the health benefits of your favourite condiments have never been more important. We're now looking at how we bring our kimchi success to the wider category.  Keep an eye out for new products from our brand Vadasz coming soon… 👀   #FoodToFeelGood #Vadasz #Kimchi #TheCompleatFoodGroup

Our Wrights brand is on the move! 🥪🥧   We’re delighted to announce that yesterday marked a significant milestone for Wrights as it launched its first bakery outside of the North West at Barnetby Services on the A15/M180 Interchange in Lincolnshire.   This expansion was made possible thanks to a fantastic partnership with Motor Fuel Group, the UK’s largest independent forecourt operator, and it’s just the start of our ambitious plans to open a host of additional bakery stores later this year.   It’s also the beginning of an extremely exciting new chapter as we look to make Wrights a household name, by bringing more of our delicious food and exceptional quality to consumers nationwide.   #Wrights #TheCompleatFoodGroup #FoodtofeelGood #FoodtoGo
