Darren Littler, innovation director at Warburtons, said: “Brits have always loved their sandwich toasties but with lifestyles getting busier than ever, demand for quick and convenient meal solutions has never been so great. We want to make everyone’s favourite sandwich toasties more convenient for everyone to enjoy.”
Warburtons has launched products made with white and brown bread. Sold in packs of four, the Toastie Pockets have a recommended retail price of GBP1.20 (US$1.47).
In September, Warburtons launched a protein-enhanced range of bakery products, with the company saying foods with added protein had gone “mainstream”.
