Vanilla Custard and Mixed Fruit have been added to the range to cater to emerging taste trends. Custard has always been a firm favourite amongst South Africans, creating nostalgic memories of fun family times. Mixed Fruit has grown in popularity in the yoghurt category and adds a tasty alternative.”
The product has seen excellent uptake in the market, showing uninterrupted growth. “We’ve seen continuous volume growth month-on-month and we’re positive that this trend will continue. The product is healthy, filling, and now available in an even bigger variety of enticing flavours. It can be enjoyed at room temperature, chilled or frozen, and the unopened product can be stored for up to six months. It’s ideal for African conditions where refrigeration is not always available and perfect to enjoy at home, on-the-go, in your kids’ lunch boxes, and when on holiday or camping,” Van Nieuwenhuizen explains.
According to Marisa Maccaferri, Marketing Executive for Woodlands Dairy and First Choice, consumer sentiment around healthy eating has been on the rise globally in recent years as they become more aware of the health benefits of certain foods and the risks associated with unhealthy diets. “The emergence of ambient dairy snacks such as Power Cup is driven partly by consumers’ understanding and valuing of the nutritive benefits of dairy, but also by the fact that they may have constraints such as access to refrigeration and issues of power outages which disrupt the cold chain, affecting the integrity of products. First Choice Power Cup fills a real need in the market, especially in Africa, and provides a healthy alternative and fun dairy snack to all age groups everywhere.”
Power Cup is now available in seven flavours including Custard, Mixed Fruit, Strawberry, Strawberry and Banana, Granadilla, Cream Soda, and Coconut.
