Birds Eye is enhancing its potato range with the introduction of 'Seasoned Potato Bites' – a delightful creation featuring mini bitesize hashbrowns with a subtle hint of chili. Arriving as a new addition to the rapidly growing frozen potato sector, the 'Seasoned Potato Bites' not only cater to evolving consumer preferences but also strategically target younger adults, acknowledging that taste stands out as the primary driver in the realm of added-value potatoes. These new potato bites will be primarily sold in Iceland.
“At Birds Eye, we are always looking for new ways to make mealtimes and snacking occasions more exciting for shoppers. The bitesize potato format is already proven to be a favourite, as bestsellers within the Birds Eye Chicken Shop portfolio. However, our new Seasoned Potato Bites aim to go one step further by adding a flavour kick which aims to appeal to younger consumers looking for new flavour options within the segment," said Charlotte Pask, senior brand manager for Potatoes at Birds Eye.
