Aviko is helping convenience retailers reinvigorate their frozen range with the launch of three new potato skus. As chips (53%) and wedges (40%) are named the two most popular frozen products consumers buy in supermarkets*, now is the time to add some variety and premumisation to your freezer aisle and cash in on consumer demand for the crunchy carb.
The extended range from Aviko, one of the world’s biggest manufacturers of chips and added value potato products, ensures retailers are equipped to capitalize on this consumer demand at a time when eating out is restricted.
