BIONA ORGANIC LAUNCHES TWO NEW SWEET SNACKS

Each treat is 100% organic and contains just five 100% natural ingredients

Britons are snacking more than ever with over 80% of UK consumers indulging in a snack between meals[1] but when it comes to their chosen snack, a quiet revolution is underway. 71% of UK adults are now actively trying to avoid ultra-processed foods, and 77% of snack eaters find products with only a few ingredients more appealing[2]. Today’s consumers want ‘natural indulgence’ from treats that satisfy their cravings but still hit their food values goals. 

Biona Organic is answering that call with two delicious new products – the new ‘Coconut Wafer Rolls’ available in Vanilla and Cacao, and the new ‘Dark Chocolate Bars’ in Coconut and Brownie.

In a market where 52% of UK consumers say they're willing to pay more for snacks made with high-quality ingredients[3], Biona's new sweet snacks offer certified organic ingredients, minimal ingredient quantities, natural sugar and natural flavourings. 

Biona Organic Coconut Wafer Rolls (RRP of £3.69)

Light, crisp and guilt-free, meet the wafer snack that breaks all the right rules. 

Biona's Coconut Wafer Rolls - available in Vanilla and Cacao - are made with fresh organic coconut milk, coconut sugar and natural flavourings. Dairy-free, gluten-free, palm-oil-free and fully plant-based, these delicately crisp rolls deliver the satisfying crunch of a conventional wafer without any of the compromise. The coconut sugar has a lower GI than refined sugar, so it's a gentler energy release, making them a smarter choice for sustained snacking without the sugar spike.

With their gently sweet, coconut-forward flavour and convenient resealable pouches, they're made for modern life - whether that's a lunchbox treat, a coffee-break companion or a grazing snack that fits seamlessly into the family routine.

Biona Organic Dark Chocolate Coconut Bar & Dark Chocolate Brownie Bar (RRP of £4.99)

The Biona Organic Dark Chocolate Coconut Bar pairs a chewy tropical coconut centre with rich organic dark chocolate, sweetened with coconut blossom sugar and made from just 7 certified organic ingredients - no refined sugar, no additives, nothing to apologise for. The coconut sugar retains trace minerals lost in refined sugar processing, while organic dark chocolate delivers a natural source of antioxidants.

The Biona Organic Dark Chocolate Brownie Bar brings the nation's favourite bake to the snack aisle - a decadent, plant-based brownie experience made with real dark chocolate, just 8 organic ingredients, and a clean-label promise that today's conscious shopper expects as standard. Rich in fibre from real dark chocolate and free from the emulsifiers and stabilisers found in conventional brownie bars,

Amy McDonald, MD of Biona Organic, said: “We created our new snack range because we know how hard it is to find a sweet treat that tastes indulgent but doesn't come laden with refined sugar, emulsifiers, artificial flavourings and hidden nasties. Our new products are the answer to that - certified organic, naturally sweetened, and made with the minimal number of high-quality, real ingredients you'd actually find in your kitchen.”

Both bars are gluten-free, palm-oil-free and entirely plant-based, landing squarely in the "permissible treat" sweet spot that is reshaping the UK confectionery and snack bar landscape. 

Biona’s new snack range is available now from www.biona.co.uk or in various supermarket and independent retailers in the UK.
