Diabetic-Friendly Low-GI Breads

Blue Ribbon Debuted 2 New Health Squares Variants in South Africa

— December 4, 2019 — Lifestyle
Blue Ribbon, the leading baked goods provider in South Africa, recently expanded its health Squares range with the introduction of two new variants: Whole Wheat and Multiseed and Oats. Both are part of the brand's efforts to improve its nutritional profile while meeting dietary restriction needs, such as paleo, diabetic, or vegan diets.

“Studies have shown that low-GI diets are the most effective way of managing body weight, and more importantly, blood sugar levels. Low-GI foods give you more sustained energy levels across the day. We have really taken time and researched the trends and needs of our consumer. This is why we are so proud to introduce these exciting new health offerings,” commented Blue Ribbon Brand Manager VA Baked Goods, Nadine Havenga.

The new Blue Ribbon health squares are available in all major retailers across South Africa.

3. Research-based Innovation - Blue Ribbon's research on consumer trends and needs demonstrates the potential benefits of investing in consumer research to develop innovative products.
