Ape Snacks said the move will mean a 20% increase in distribution points in the UK. It sells into retailers including Whole Foods Market, Boots and Planet Organic, as well as online shopping site Ocado.
The company claim its products tap into consumer demand for a “delicious and satisfying snack that doesn’t compromise on health”.
They feature only natural ingredients, are gluten free and high in fibre without added sugar.
Founder Zack Nathan said: “The brand has grown so much since we first started and to be present in one of the biggest supermarkets in the UK means we are able to reach a much more extensive audience and give our shoppers a convenient place to get their favourite snacks.”
