These new Najma lunchbox snacks have been announced by Golden Acre Foods as a series of items for the busy back-to-school season as consumers seek out ways to support kids heading back to class. The products under the Najma range come in three varieties including the Najma Halal Spicy Pepperoni Slices, Najma Southern Fried Breaded Chicken Fillets and the Najma Halal Wafer Thin Chicken Slices. The products are each Halal certified and will make their way to Tesco locations this month in the UK.
Head of Marketing at Golden Acre Foods Rebecca Cutter commented on the Najma lunchbox snacks saying, "Families who consume a halal diet at home but want to eat Western-style foods that are halal-certified have a specific requirement when it comes to school lunchboxes, so we are delighted Tesco will be stocking our new halal products from our Najma and Jaldee Eats ranges this August in time for back to school, and some of our other retail partners will follow suit in the coming months."
Key Themes Behind This Trend
