▲6
95 (101) Actimel
Britain’s bestselling drinking yoghurt is back in the top 100 for the first time in four years. A relaunch that saw Myleene Klass enlisted as poster girl has helped the brand tap demand for natural, functional products

▲7
97 (104) Dairylea
Dairylea is flying thanks to snacking lines Lunchables and Dunkers. The brand has also teamed up with Peperami and forked out on advertising aimed at kids

▲2
100 (102) Cadbury Twirl
Twirl pirouettes into the top 100, just, off the back of big marketing investment and the sharing-orientated Twirl Bites spin-off. Despite the brand’s entry into the ranking, sales have slipped 1.4% to £92.2m in the past year

 

▼10
104 (94) Müller Milk
Down by £8.3m (8.5%), despite Muller relaunching the Black & White brand in 2016. That milk prices have been slashed as the price war rumbles on is partly to blame (average price is down 1.9%), as is the shift away from independent convenience outlets, where Black & White is particularly strong

▼19
106 (87) Bakers
Out of the top 100 and into the doghouse for Bakers following a 13.9% loss. Value now stands at £88m. Price cuts and range rationalisation have hit the brand hard, as the mults continue to increase space for premium petfood and squeeze standard offerings

▼11
110 (99) Special K
Once Britain’s biggest breakfast cereal, Special K has had £12.1m (12.8%) wiped off its value after big shelf space losses. Original and Multigrain Porridge are soggiest, down £5.1m and £2.7m respectively, but it’s not all bad: new cereal Nourish has hit £3.2m since its June launch
