We’ll back the bid to save Jaffas and Pineapple Lumps!

We’ll back the bid to save Jaffas and Pineapple Lumps!


Foodstuffs announced last Friday that we would throw our support in behind anyone who has what it takes to save the iconic Jaffas, Pineapple Lumps, Buzz Bars, and Pinky Bars. Our Facebook community responded in the thousands telling us that they also wanted to bring back the much loved and much missed Snifters.

One team from Dunedin, led by Dr Jim O’Malley, has put their hand up to rescue the factory and continue manufacturing the favourite Kiwi candies. We salute their initiative and, if their bid is successful, Foodstuffs will get right in behind them and work with them to get set up. We’ll help them sell to us, put the product on shelf and promote them to the millions of customers who visit New World, PAK'nSAVE and Four Square supermarkets around the country each week.

We wish the team all the best and we’re really looking forward to seeing how this plays out.

Get in behind New Zealand!
