Spare Snacks believe that snacks ‘should taste good and do good’, that's why they transform wonky apples into healthy crisps, so the more you snack, the less goes to waste.
Spare’s kid-friendly range, Scrapples, is now launching into hundreds of supermarkets and schools as well as on board British Airways flights.
Over 930m tonnes of edible food is wasted globally each year; Spare makes use of both wonky raw and dried apples that are often rejected because they are misshapen, blemished, or deemed the wrong shape or size.
Founder Ben Whitehead, said: “We're so excited that our healthy and sustainable snacks are resonating with parents and buyers alike. Being able to bring Scrapples to the mass market across retail, schools and travel is an important milestone for us and comes at the perfect back-to-school moment. I can’t stomach the fact that millions of tonnes of edible fruit and veg are wasted each year, whilst only 23% of us eat our five a day.
“That’s why I started transforming surplus fruit into healthy snacks. Being able to bring Scrapples to Morrisons, Ocado and Co-Op shoppers and British Airways passengers is a step that will be welcomed by fellow parents as a handy, healthy, and mess-free option for keeping the kids fed and entertained, whilst our new Top Bumps character cards also give them a chance to chat about food sustainability in a fun way.”
