Planters is hitting the market with a posh range of nuts in an attempt to challenge the dominance of multiples’ own-label products in the premium sector.
Trigon Snacks is introducing Planters Premium Nut Range to tap into what it says is a growing consumer appetite for value-added nuts that are perceived as being healthier than salted or dry roasted.
Commercial director Duncan Hill said: “There is no doubt that convenience retailers are not making the most of nuts.”
He said sales of nuts had been growing at the expense of crisps and snacks.
The range is packed in see-through bags featuring brand ambassador Mr Peanut. It includes Nut & Fruit Mix with Cranberries (rsp: £1.39 for a 120g bag), Sea Salt & Black Pepper Cashews & Peppers (rsp: £1.29 for 110g), Sea Salt & Malt Crunchy Peanuts (rsp: 99p for 110g) and Salted Pistachios (rsp: £1.49 for 90g).
