Spar wholesaler expands sandwich range with new free-from options

By Éilis Cronin in Food-To-Go 12th January 2021

James Hall & Co, Spar’s wholesaler for the north of England, has launched eight new sandwiches for customers with dietary requirements.

The range includes three gluten-free, three vegetarian, and two vegan options, available as part of Spar’s meal deal (£2.95).

The gluten-free range includes an egg mayonnaise and mustard cress roll, a tuna and sweetcorn roll, and a chicken Tandoori wrap.

The vegetarian options include a falafel and red pepper hummus wrap; spicy dahl wrap with sweet mango chutney; and a BBQ Jackfruit and coleslaw wrap.

Launched to celebrate Veganuary, the vegan options are an onion bhaji and Bombay potato wrap and a vegan cheese salad wrap.

Peter Dodding, sales and marketing director at James Hall & Co., said “Complementing our current sandwich and wraps range, these new delicious flavours will offer customers the very latest in on-trend lunchtime options.

“James Hall & Co. launched its first vegan and vegetarian range in February 2019, and after a fantastic response from Spar customers, later extended the range to include vegan and vegetarian salads.

“The ranges have proved so popular that our new product development team have been focusing on developing the range further and are delighted to introduce eight new flavours for 2021.

“Many customers are looking for lighter, meat-free options that are full of flavour and we think they will be delighted with the new range of fusion food-to-go options.”
