Swaddles builds up premium ready meal lines
UK producers Swaddles Organic is exhibiting at IFE for the first time, using the show to present its line of premium organic ready meals. The company’s products are found in independent retailers like Planet Organic and Harvey Nichols rather than the big supermarkets, allowing them to build a strong base of customers and brand loyalty. Bill Reynolds, who runs the company with his wife, said that his products do not compromise on quality, compared to many of the own-label products of supermarkets.
He explained to just-food.com that independent organic producers often had to work harder to keep that vital point of difference.
The company unveiled products aimed specifically at children and vegetarians at IFE to complement its existing range of premium ready meals.
