Fridge Raiders, part of Pilgrim’s Food Masters, has released two new additions to its snacking range, along with the return of the classic seasonal favourite, Chicken and Stuffing Bites. Available in store now, shoppers can enjoy the new extended Fridge Raiders’ range which includes Smoky BBQ Chicken Bites, Hot and Spicy Chicken Bites and Chicken and Stuffing Bites.
The new flavour variants are further evidence of Fridge Raiders’ commitment to developing and growing the meat snacking category, as well as catering to changing consumer demands and preferences.
The category is going from strength to strength, according to the brand, evidenced by snacking giant Fridge Raiders seeing value sales up 12.6% in the last 12 weeks alone (Source: Kantar). Pilgrim’s Food Masters sees this as a huge opportunity for retailers to tap into the growing appetite for meat snacking.
Fridge Raiders has continued to lead the charge in chilled snacking, innovating in response to changing consumer tastes and preferences, creating excitement and encouraging exploration. This strategy has seen the brand reach an RSV of £100m (source: Kantar), cementing its place as one of the category’s biggest players with an extraordinary 33.4% share of the category (source: Kantar).
“We know consumers are hungry for exciting new flavours in meat snacking and this flavour explosion across our range highlights our commitment to innovation,” says Chris Doe, marketing controller at Pilgrim’s Food Masters. “As we look to drive the snacking category forward, and cater to ever-growing consumer demand, we want to give retailers snacking options that offer shoppers exciting new flavours in a variety of formats, suitable for every occasion. In addition to shaking up the category with new flavours, we’re delighted that Chicken and Stuffing Bites return for the third year running as we know how much of a hit this SKU is with consumers.”
