    Packaged Foods

    We manufacture and market a range of branded packaged foods across multiple markets.

    Our in-depth understanding of Africa through our commodity business footprint has helped us establish a strong packaged foods portfolio in West Africa.

    Starting with a robust distribution and redistribution network, we’ve developed a deep understanding of consumers and created strong brands including Tasty Tom, NutriSnax, King Cracker, and Perk. Our R&D teams – working closely with marketing – have helped us offer our consumers differentiated and innovative produce, and now hold leading positions in most of the categories that we participate in.

    Confectionery

    We are one of the leaders in the lollipop segment in Nigeria with OK Pop, our flagship brand. We were the first to introduce a double lollipop in the market. 

    We have candy offerings in the milk, mint and flavoured segments as well. 

    Biscuits

    We have major brands across various markets in biscuits. We have major brands across various markets in biscuits. In Ghana, Perk Biscuits (milk and choco milk) are a popular "mood uplifter," while King Cracker serves as a "work-snack partner," and the introduction of NutriSnax Oats Digestive biscuits has become a household name among health-conscious consumers.

These are available in 70g, 100g and 120g pack sizes. We also have a value-for-money offering called Cherie Supa Chicken. Cherie Noodles are specially developed to suit the taste palate of Nigerians. 

    Tasty Tom offers Tomato Chicken Noodles in two varieties – dry style and soup style – as part of its culinary product range.

    Culinary

    Tomato mix is central to the diet of most households in West Africa, used in preparing jollof rice, stews, and soups. Our Tasty Tom brand in Nigeria and Ghana is the second largest in the region, leading the market in Nigeria and holding the second position in Ghana. We were the first player in West Africa to enrich our tomato mix with fibre and vitamins, selling it under three brands: Tasty Tom, De Rica, and Festin.

    To make cooking easier, our Tasty Tom Jollof Mix contains all the necessary ingredients except rice and oil, delivering authentic taste while saving time. We have expanded the line with a convenient pepper and onion paste and a range of dry seasoning powders. These are the first of many innovations designed to make cooking tastier and more enjoyable.

    We market a monosodium glutamate (MSG) brand – Vedan – across West Africa. Vedan makes every day special for consumers who like to enhance their food with MSG.
