The range comprises of 15 convenience products, many of which are under 500 calories, and spans world cuisines including Syrian, Indonesian, Italian, Jamaican, Thai and Mexican.
The launch of Oh My Good Nosh will be marked with two charity collaborations: All profits made in December from sales of its meals at Sainsbury’s in Ladbroke Grove, London, will go to support the victims of the Grenfell Tower fire, while 100% of all profits from sales of its Chicken Kabsa will be donated to Unicef to help provide emergency food parcels to the millions of children affected by the conflict in Syria.
The ready meals are available now with the rest of the range in store by the end of the year. The RRP is GBP2.50 (US$3.35) for soups and pastry lunch bites, GBP3.25 for ready meals and GBP6.50 for the fresh meal kits.

Fazer Cricket Bread leaps onto shelves in Finland after ban lifted
For all cricket fans out there, Finland’s Fazer is about to introduce Sirkkaleipa bread into 11 of its in-store bakeries on Friday (24 November). But the hand-made artisan breads will appeal more to insect lovers than to those of the sporting variety.
Translated as Fazer Cricket Bread, the food group plans to roll out Sirkkaleipa into all 47 of its stores in the “next wave” after Finland removed a ban on using crickets as food on 1 November.
The company explained that the crickets are dried, ground into powder and added to the flour. Each loaf contains 70 of what it says are “house” crickets, but it did not elaborate more on the source.
Fazer added that cricket bread is a good source of protein as insects contain fatty acids, calcium, iron and vitamin B12.
