Walkers launches new campaign championing taste credentials of 'the humble British potato'

Walkers has launched a new campaign championing its famous taste credentials and the hero ingredient in its iconic recipes – the humble potato. The campaign seeks to strengthen the nation’s love for the brand, whilst reminding crisp fans everywhere of the care that goes into growing its 100 per cent British potatoes, through Walkers’ Sustainable Farming Programme.

Walkers’ Sustainable Farming Programme is made up of over 100 principles, which define Walkers’ environmental, social, and economic responsibilities. Walkers is working with growers to reduce their impact on the environment and adapt to climate change. Providing them with tools in the field means that growers can track water use, reduce carbon and improve their yield. Every British farm Walkers works with is proud to follow these principles, which ensures the brand’s potatoes are grown and cared for, delivering the great taste Walkers is famous for. The programme ensures that love and care go into every pack of Walkers crisps right from the potato fields, to deliver Britain’s most loved crisps, made from 100 per cent British potatoes.


“We know that taste is the number one purchase driver when buying crisps and snacks, and that the journey for great taste starts from the ground up,” said Rachael Smith, Senior Walkers Marketing Manager. “Our Sustainable Farming Programme ensures every potato we use is sustainably grown on British farms to guarantee great quality and delicious Walkers taste.

“We are incredibly thankful to our shoppers for continually demonstrating their love for our brands and to our incredible farming partners, some of which have been working with us for generations.”

Walkers latest TVC will feature a selection of the brand’s real British farming partners, demonstrating farmers’ care and love for the potatoes they grow and harvest, as well as the pride in the process and final product. The TVC will also depict the journey from potato to crisp, with the second half showing moments of taste anticipation and consumer consumption, playing on the quirky way Brits enjoy their crisps, in the playful Walkers tone of voice.

The campaign is now live, with in-store activity to follow shortly.

KTC Edibles launches Super High-Oleic frying oil

KTC Edibles launches Super High-Oleic frying oil

KTC Edibles Ltd (KTC), the UK’s largest supplier of edible oils, has launched Super High-Oleic Frying Oil, a traceable high-performance and long-life frying oil.


HOPO is blended using 100% traceable, organic, carbon-neutral RSPO Certified Sustainable Identity Preserved (IP) high oleic palm oil sourced directly from Daabon, a global leader in sustainable agriculture. KTC Super Hi Oleic can be offered with full traceability back to Daabon’s CI Tequendama SAS mill in Northern Colombia, providing complete visibility and zero deforestation guarantees - all the data customers need to comply with their obligations under the new European Union Deforestation Regulation (EU DR).

DAABON’s carbon-neutral organic palm oil has a Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) calculated CO2eq of -977kg per tonne, cradle to gate. The LCA was conducted using Ecopalma’s carbon footprint estimation tool, harmonised with the ISO 14067 standard.

This traceability offers other sustainability benefits, allowing customers to calculate their Scope 3 emissions - and because it’s sourced from Daabon, a global leader in sustainable agriculture, it can be an effective way for companies to reduce the carbon footprint of their frying operations.

Gary Lewis, Sales Director at KTC Edibles, explains, "Super Hi Oleic offers the gold standard in sustainable, high-performance, long-life frying oils. We believe in offering consumers innovative new products that not only meet their culinary needs but also align with their values and sustainability goals. This is a giant leap forward in the industry, and we're proud to be at the forefront of positive change."

The high oleic palm oil used in the product also offers some unique performance advantages. It has higher oxidative stability and smoke point, lower PUFAs (Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids) and saturated fats than standard oils. The non-GMO, non-additive formula also provides a long shelf life, a well-balanced fatty acid profile and neutral taste attributes, ensuring it can be blended with other vegetable oils for premium performance at competitive prices.

Created using a natural, non-GMO hybrid of a standard African palm tree and a native Latin American palm tree, high oleic palm oil offers significantly higher crop yields than standard palm. It also requires manual pollination leading to additional employment, helping boost the local economy - the costs of which are offset by the higher yields.
