Nurture Brands founder Ben Arbib said: “The Primal Pantry is a natural fit for Nurture Brands, sharing a common desire to make genuinely delicious, high quality plant-based snacks.

“The Primal Pantry becomes our first purchase of 2020 and demonstrates our intent to be a key player in plant-based consumer goods in the UK and beyond.”

Suzie Walker, who founded The Primal Pantry, which is based in Berkshire, near London, in 2013, will join Nurture Brands to assist in the transition and integration of the business.

She said: “As a nutritionist, I created The Primal Pantry to offer all people a better quality of snack. Joining forces with Nurture Brands will not only help the brand reach more people and accelerate growth, but will allow the brand to remain true to our founding principles of good, honest, simple food.”
