Aviko is helping convenience retailers reinvigorate their frozen range with the timely launch of three new potato skus, as chips (53 per cent) and wedges (40 per cent) are named the two most popular frozen products consumers buy in supermarkets by Dutch researcher Glocalities.
The extended range from Aviko, one of the world’s biggest manufacturers of chips and added-value potato products, will help to ensure retailers are equipped to capitalize on this growing consumer while restaurant dining is restricted.
