The branded seafood is part of a raft of new Findus products from Nomad Foods in France. The group has added to its line of fish products, launched a line of “gourmet” frozen vegetable products, introduced a limited-edition SKU to snack brand Speed Pocket and expanding its line-up of pizzas.
Nomad Foods, which also owns UK-based frozen food business Iglo Group, acquired the bulk of Findus Group’s assets in Europe last year.
In a presentation made to investors last autumn, Nomad Foods said France was Findus’s third-largest market in continental Europe, accounting for 22% of sales and 25% of its EBITDA in 2014.
