QUAKER OAT SO SIMPLE LAUNCHES NEW MORNING BARS

QUAKER OAT SO SIMPLE LAUNCHES NEW MORNING BARS:
Quaker Oat so Simple is launching its new Golden Syrup Morning Bars in two impulse specific single serve formats.
Available in both 50p price marked packs and non-price marked packs from late April, the new bars aim to help impulse retailers maximise the growing on the go breakfast occasion (+7%).
Consumers are more likely to buy a cereal bar if they already buy into the parent brand research shows, and Quaker Oat So Simple is well placed to maximise this opportunity as the fastest growing brand in the top 10 cereals (+17.1%).


Bars will be complimented by price marker packs and Pepsico’s 330ml juices
Convenient ready to display merchandising units have been designed to ensure maximum in store visibility and to capture impulse purchases from the 55% of consumers who currently leave home without breakfast, presenting a significant incremental sales opportunity for retailers.
Throughout the summer, the bars will be complimented by limited edition £1 price marked packs across Pepsico’s market leading 330ml juices; Tropicana Original, Tropicana Smooth and Copella English Apple, which aims to encourage  consumers to see the snack as an on the go breakfast opportunity.
Quaker has launched many new products into the breakfast on the go category, and the Oat So Simple brand is now worth £62m and has been the fastest growing brand in the top 10 cereals consistently for the past two years.
The ‘just add water’ Oat So Simple porridge pots launched under a year ago and have already sold over one million cases.

Danone Fails To Match Recent Performance In First Quarter Of 2012 (Western Europe Food and Drink Insight)

Danone Fails To Match Recent Performance In First Quarter Of 2012 (Western Europe Food and Drink Insight): French food giant Danone has reported overall like-for-like sales growth of 6.9% in value terms and 2.2% in volume terms for the first quarter of 2012. The firm reported strong growth at its waters division, with volumes up 7.7% and value sales up 16.4%. However, the performance of its dairy unit was hampered by weakness in Europe, with volumes down by 0.1%.

Nestlé Closing In On The Acquisition Of Wyeth (Asia Pacific Food and Drink Insight)

Nestlé Closing In On The Acquisition Of Wyeth (Asia Pacific Food and Drink Insight): Recent reports have suggested that Swiss food giant Nestlé is closing in on a deal to acquire Pfizer's infant formula business Wyeth. These reports are in line with our expectations that Nestlé would emerge as a frontrunner to land the unit given the attractiveness and the financial disparity between Nestlé and a joint bid from Danone and Mead Johnson. While Nestlé is likely to run into antitrust scrutiny in a number of key markets, the acquisition of Wyeth would, without a doubt, provide a strong boost to its emerging market (EM) profile. For Danone, should it fail to acquire Wyeth, this would inevitably dent its EM ambitions, particularly given the fast-depleting pool of attractive acquisition opportunities.
