SPAR grows own-label ambient desserts range

SPAR is introducing its own-brand tins of rice pudding and custard.

Rice pudding and custard are the largest sub-category for ambient desserts and have a retail sales opportunity of over a half a million pounds. A product that customers actively seek out, they add richness to a comforting dish or are perfect as a dessert in their own right and are a great addition to SPAR Brand’s core range.
