Accra, Oct. 18, GNA – Nutrifoods Ghana
Limited, jointly owned by Olam International and Sanyo Foods of Japan, has
launched a sugar-free biscuit in the cracker category to meet the fast growing
demand for healthy snack nourishment among consumers.
Nutrifoods, producers of popular household
biscuit brands like Perk, Milky Magic, Royal Digestive and Royal King Cracker
extensively studied the prevailing consumer trend and has developed a product

sugar-free cracker.
The new cracker brand was unveiled in the
major commercial centres of Ghana including Accra, Kumasi, Takoradi and Tamale,
on the theme “Snack Freely” and was recorded as the first large-scale launch
for any biscuit brand in the country.
“Many people in this part of the world
love crackers and the Royal King Cracker has enjoyed pre-eminent status in this
segment….so, as the popularity of snack rises with increase in the pace of
life, consumers are seeking options to snack freely without having to worry
about sugar,” said Mr. Jay Anjaria, the Marketing Head of Nutrifoods’ Packaged
Food business, at the main launch ceremony.
