Adelie Foods head of brand, Isla Owen, said: “The Christmas sandwich is now a much-loved tradition of the festive period in the UK and as well as being a highlight of lunchtimes for consumers, it provides a massive opportunity for increased sales for retailers.
“As well as our tried and tested favourites, we’ve extended the (URBAN eat) collection this year to tap into consumer interest for more vegan on the go products, while also catering for the demand for hot eats that can be eaten out of home.
“Our extended collection gives retailers even more opportunity to take advantage of what’s long been a thriving market.”
