Giuseppe Vullo, brand manager at Grace Foods, said: “This is a significant and exciting opportunity for us to introduce authentic, traditional and flavourful Caribbean meal solutions to a new consumer audience who are interested in Caribbean cuisine but haven’t yet had access to these great flavours.
“We’re excited to continue building awareness of Caribbean food in the UK market, providing a delicious and easy to use range inspired by classic island favourites. In Jamaica, ‘irie’ means “everything is fine, nice, good or pleasing” – so what better name for an exciting new range of authentic Caribbean street food meal kits that allow you to bring those pleasing Irie vibes directly into your home!”
