Independent snack maker Burts Chips has added two flavours of popcorn to its range: Lightly Salted (20g) and Sweet & Salty (28g).
With 126 calories or less per 20g, both are designed to fit into a well-balanced diet and are suitable for vegetarians and vegans.
Burts says it is currently the only UK popcorn brand to produce both hand-cooked and small batch popcorn products that are all natural, and contain no artificial ingredients, flavours, colours, preservatives or sweeteners.
CEO Dave McNulty said: “It’s great to be expanding the products in our range, especially with our focus on building the Burts brand, and it makes perfect sense to use our expertise to develop the ultimate popcorn under Burts.
“The two new flavours will be sure to satisfy our consumers’ snacking cravings, whether sweet or savoury. At Burts, we pride ourselves on delivering quality, hand-cooked products that are made with care. That is why offering popcorn that is done right to our new and existing customers is a vital step forward as Burts continues to grow.”
Popcorn is now a £147m category with an expected growth of 11.2% by 2027.
