“The launch of the McVitie’s Wholesense range will leave the consumer feeling both satisfied but also safe in the knowledge that they have indulged in something that is wholesome,” McVitie’s commercial director Graham Parry said.
United Biscuits has also announced plans to relaunch its flapjacks line with a new packaging design and a new brand name, Oatjacks. In addition to the re-branding, a new Red Berry and Yoghurt flavoured variant is to be introduced.
