Granose Vegetarian Food gets a new lease of lifeThere have been big changes recently for the Granose brand. Popular products like Nut Roast, Cashew Nut Roast and Chicken Style Bake were discontinued following the sale of the Realeat, Granose and Direct Foods brands. You may have noticed their absence from the shops in recent months, following the disappearance of some of their frozen lines from freezer cabinets too. Granose was owned by Haldane Foods which also owned Direct Foods and Realeast. So you will also find Sosmix and Burgamix have disappeared as well as the old time classic vegetarian sausage mix and burger mixes - but fear not, they have returned in a different guise! Direct Foods and Realeat mixes change to GranoseHaldane Foods (owned by multinational giant Hain Celestial) decided to sell the packet mix brands, but as far as we know still own the Linda McCartney range and it appears they are keeping the Realeat brand just for the frozen lines. Symingtons, who bought the dry mix products from Hain Celestial have decided to rationalise the range and bring the remaining products under the century old 'Granose' brand. We now have the Granose Sausage Mix, Burger Mix and others that have replaced the Realeat and Direct Foods Sosmix and Banger Mix as well as the Burgamix. |
