Aryzta aims for dietary needs to be ‘a piece of cake’ with new range

Global bakery business Arzyta Food Solutions has launched an Afternoon Tea range in time for Afternoon Tea Week (14-20 August).

The four-strong range, which comprises a Goji Berry Tea Loaf, Gluten & Dairy-Free Lemon, Mini Gluten-Free Scones and Mini Gluten-Free Afternoon Tea Cakes, has been unveiled in a bid to make catering for special dietary requirements “a piece of cake”, according to Aryzta.

 “The rise of special diets is frequently hitting the headlines with the demand for gluten-free goods higher than ever and a burgeoning market place for lactose-free,” said Aryzta’s head of marketing Paul Whitely.

“Our new products have been specifically developed to help caterers target these crucial areas. Sweetened with tea-soaked fruit and honey, the Goji Berry loaf will appeal to the health-conscious consumer still looking for an indulgent treat. Meanwhile, offering gluten-free and dairy-free options will give outlets a significant edge over their competitors.”

Mintel figures revealed that 80% of Brits enjoy a slice of cake, with 50% doing so during the afternoon.
