Fox's Sports Biscuits 200 g (Pack of 12)

Product Information

Eagle-eyed Daily Telegraph readers spotted their curious absence from supermarket shelves in October with owner Pladis, formerly known as United Biscuits, saying the pandemic had caused it to cease production of the British stalwart. Current owner 2 Sisters Food Group called for bids to be submitted last week. Rothschild has been overseeing the auction. A spokesperson for Ferrero said: “There are no plans to change staffing levels at this point. Our primary intention is to invest in the acquired business, capitalise on exciting new growth opportunities for Burton’s Biscuits and make the integration process as seamless as possible, and this only after all regulatory approvals are obtained.” We believe the sale to Ferrero is not only beneficial for 2 Sisters Food Group, but it means a positive future for the Fox’s brand with an owner who has a compatible culture and a global reputation for high-quality branded chocolate and biscuit products.”

However Birmingham-based 2 Sisters will retain ownership of the Uttoxeter factory which produces own-label biscuits for major retailers. Ok so the yellow ones were vile, they should have gone, but the rest – a major shame for people everywhere. They were sold for nearly 60 years before Nestlé decided to crush our dreams. 4. Calippo Shots But, a spokesman said: "We're pleased to report that production of Bath Oliver biscuits continues as usual.Ferrero recently closed Thornton’s remaining 61 high-street stores with the loss of 600 jobs. When Ferrero bought the loss-making business in 2015 it had 242 stores in Britain and Ireland. Staffordshire's biggest biscuit factory will not be offloaded as part of a multi-million pound deal which will see part of Fox's sold to chocolate-giant Ferrero. Only Fox's branded biscuit business is expected to be included in the deal, and not Fox's own-label products. If agreed, Ferrero would take charge of around 1,500 Fox's Biscuits employees. The latest auction had been taking place as 2 Sisters's parent Boparan Holdings looked to reduce its large debt pile. Sisters Food Group can confirm the completion of the sale of part of its Fox’s Biscuits business to a Ferrero-related company.

McVitie's BN's are currently being sold in Asda and will be rolled out to other major supermarkets from February. The new business will continue to operate under the Ferrero-related company following the acquisition of Burton’s last year and the acquisition of Fox's Biscuits in 2020. I wonder if you could help me identify a biscuit that I remember from my early childhood which has almost certainly been discontinued now. During the late 60s/early 70s I looked forward to visits to my Grandparents' house where the class of biscuit was always a cut above that served up in our own household. Cafe Noir was often on offer, but there was also another biscuit (most probably made by the same company as Cafe Noir). It was an rectangular iced biscuit, but the interesting aspect of it was that the icing on the top was in 3 different coloured stripes (one pink, one pale yellow and one brown). An odd combination of colours you may think, and indeed, it was an odd combination of flavours too. The brown icing was definitely coffee flavoured and I imagine the pink was strawberry (though I can't remember for sure). The pale yellow icing must have been lemon I guess, since I don't remember it being anything as exotic as banana or pineapple. As the coffee flavour was my favourite, (Yes - I am one of those strange people who always ate the coffee creams out of the boxes of Milk Tray first) I always consumed the biscuit by nibbling along it's length and getting rid of the pink icing first, then the yellow, until I was left with a long thin strip that just had the coffee icing on it. Yum! In 1970 the Irish and British parts of the Jacob’s company split into two firms. The Club biscuit had by this time become popular throughout Great Britain and was marketed in five varieties. Ayisha Koyenikan, food and drink analyst at the research group Mintel, said Ferrero could use Burton’s as a launchpad for its Nutella brand biscuits in the UK. The biscuits launched in Italy in 2019. “Nutella biscuits have the potential to really shake up the landscape. Ferrero has recently doubled production to increase sales abroad, and so it remains to be seen if a UK launch would be facilitated with imported products or if one of the newly acquired UK factories would be adapted for domestic production,” she said.A possible announcement over a deal comes more than three years after 2 Sisters first disclosed it had been approached over Fox's Biscuits by a mystery buyer, believed to be Burton's Biscuits. A deal between the pair, however, failed to materialise. No, they weren’t actually chocolate-covered Pringles, despite their appearance. Instead, they were a chocolate-covered wafer biscuit and it’s a travesty they’re gone. 11. White Maltesers New Coke "New Coke" almost spelt the end for the Coca-Cola empire in 1985. They changed the flavour of Coke and the… A trip to the cinema wouldn’t be complete without a bag of these. Unlike most multi-choice confectionary bags, this bag literally doesn’t have a bad option. Chewy, crispy or soft – they’re all delicious and you had the added element of fun of wondering which type you were going to get. Why did they have to take away our fun? 8. Crispello

Time Out bars were elite. Despite the wafers, they had a deep chocolatey flavour and were perfect post swimming lessons. However, after poor sales, they were discontinued in 2016. This was supposed to be a “lighter” version of the Mars Bar, with its wafer in the centre. But I can understand why it got discontinued, don’t mess with the classics, just leave the Mars Bar alone. 14. Walkers BBQ Rib crisps Ronald Kers, CEO of Boparan Holdings Ltd, said: “This sale is in line with our strategy and is further good news as we build on two years of strong turnaround momentum and continue to focus on our core business. It strengthens our liquidity position and reduces our leverage ahead of our planned refinance of the business.

The returning BN range includes BN Chocolate, BN Vanilla, Mini BN Chocolate and Mini BN Strawberry flavour and they are bound to put a smile on adults and kids everywhere.Let’s start off with the most classic crime in British food history – taking away the Dream bar. They started to disappear 10 years ago, but apparently, you can get them in B&M stores. If you see any please help a girl out and send some my way. 2. Oddities Following our announcement on 7 thOctober that Fox’s had entered into contracts for the sale, the deal completed on Saturday 31 stOctober 2020. Rivals Burton's Biscuits, which owns the Jammie Dodgers brand, and Biscuit International, one of Europe's largest makers of private label biscuits, had also expressed an interest in Fox's Biscuits. The Burton’s deal, which requires regulatory approval, is set to finally bring about a long-rumoured merger between Burton’s Biscuits, based in St Albans, and its rival, Fox’s. The combined group will be the third largest biscuit maker in the UK, according to analysts at Euromonitor, behind Pladis, the owner of McVitie’s, and now almost level with Mondelez, which owns Cadbury, Ritz and TUC.
