Spurred by Chris Packham's call for increased awareness surrounding biodiversity, Iceland Foods announced its newest product: 'Bonny the Butterfly' cupcakes. These sweet treats will consist of a light sponge base with buttercream icing and cute butterfly decorations rounding out the ensemble. Profits from the sale of the 'Bonny the Butterfly' cupcakes will go to Butterfly Conservation, an organization centered on protecting butterflies and promoting biodiversity.
Aligned with Iceland Foods' commitment to sustainability in the food sector, the 'Bonny the Butterfly' cupcakes will be completely palm oil-free so as to safeguard the environment from undue deforestation. The do-good goodies are also packaged sustainably, further preserving the environment. Bonny the Butterfly cupcakes will be sold at local supermarket locations in the UK soon.
