Designed to help those parents challenged to find convenient, cost-effective and fun ways to keep their children occupied, Heinz Foods SA has launched the Today Ready-to-Bake Biscuit Dough range to help parents get their children 'analogue happy' ie away from the TV, video-games and PCs, and instead get them involved in the kitchen in an enjoyable way.

Pioneer Foods announced earlier this year that it intended upping its share of SA's biscuit market - and the first stage of its plans are now evident in the form of a new Moir's biscuit range, at the same time indicating the dropping of its Kwality biscuit brand as intended.

Sunbake, a subsidiary of Foodcorp, has launched a brand new “on the go taste” with the creation of a new muffin range.

Known for it jams, fruit toppings and toasted muesli products, Pietermaritzburg's Thistlewood Products has launched a new range of low GI biscuits.
