EMILY Snacks is delighted to announce three of its delicious varieties – EMILY Snacks Seaweed Sea Salt, Seaweed Salt & Vinegar and Seaweed Vegan Cheese Crisps – have been honoured by the Guild of Fine Foods with prestigious Great Taste Awards.
The recognition highlights the exceptional flavour of EMILY Snacks. Seaweed snacks are on the rise thanks to their unique, taste, texture and reduced calories vs other snacks. The seaweed snack category is worth £6.8m RSV with EMILY Snacks contributing to its continued growth with £1.2m RSV +40% (total EMILY Snacks worth £1.3m +9.9%*). EMILY Snacks are available as share bags or individual packs which are included in the Tesco Meal Deal, as well as Amazon, Ocado, Abel & Cole and Holland & Barrett. The crisps are made with all natural ingredients and are 100 calories or less per serving.
Sarah Lawson, Marketing Director at EMILY Snacks, shared her excitement: ‘Seaweed snacks are a growing trend and we’re proud of our crisps which offer a unique twist compared to what consumers might be used to from more traditional seaweed snacks. Our crisps are crunchy and curly – and closer to standard crisps in texture – but with a totally unique taste and crunch. Consumers are constantly looking for new snacking experiences and that’s what we are offering. We are thrilled to be honoured with Great Taste Awards which recognise our commitment to high-quality ingredients and incredible taste.’
The Great Taste Awards stamp will sit pride of place on the seaweed range’s colourful new packaging, which is currently being rolled out across the UK.
