Santa Maria launches new snack bases for out-of-home market

The new snack bases come in two formats.

Six in 10 people snack on crisps or crisp-style snacks according to a report by Mintel. Building on this, snack expert Santa Maria has launched new snack bases for the out-of-home market.

Snack Bases from Santa Maria are the most customisable snacks on the market – simply cook, flavour and serve in less than a minute to unlock new opportunities in snacking for your business. 

The new Snack Bases come in two formats - Lentil Waves and Corn Cones - perfect for dipping, loading with toppings or enjoying with a variety of savoury or sweet seasoning. Plus, both products are vegan and gluten-free. 

As the cost of living continues to soar across the UK, dining-out habits have been impacted. Consumers still want to enjoy experiences but are more conscious of purse strings. Bidfood’s Predictions for 2023 Food Trends suggests that around 2 in 3 UK adults (64%) said they would find it difficult to stop eating and drinking out despite the cost-of-living crisis.

“Rising business costs combined with a staff shortage and the cost of living means time is still tough for the hospitality sector. We’ve focused on creating a genuinely easy-to-implement product that can be made to order in under one minute by anyone on the team and offers an additional revenue stream opportunity for operators,” Santa Maria’s Taste Creator, Barny MacAdam said.
