Rumours have been flying that Masterfoods intended to relaunch its Galaxy Promises range, with smaller sized bars and new packaging, in a move designed to combat an inadequate consumer response to the brand.

“We can confirm that there is no ‘major overhaul’ planned for the Galaxy Promises brand,” she said. “Masterfoods is pleased with the success of this brand and is supporting it with a GBP4m investment package this year.”
