Hunter Foods had another amazing year since last Gulfood! We have seen our Hunter’s Gourmet Hand Cooked Potato Chips being more popular and loved than ever; Our heritage brands Safari/Aladin and AliBaba potato snacks are still going strong and savoured by all; Our Hunter’s Gourmet superfoods range has really energized the wide-spread fitness movement in Dubai and the region; Our alternative snacks, Hunter’s Gourmet Mixed Vegetable Chips, Mixed Fruit Chips and Beetroot Chips are becoming a go-to item if anyone wants to snack on something different/more interesting and better in their own ways. Hunter Foods has decided to use 100% sunflower oil, rather than what we have been using, sustainable palm olein oil, to make all our premium range of snacks in 2019. This is a true commitment to our Better for You promise. We would like to give our consumers ever more natural, wholesome and eco-friendly snacks and foods. In addition to many positive functional benefits, sunflower oil has many health benefits: it is rich in Vitamin E and low in saturated fat, and contains selenium that is beneficial in reducing the cardiac risk. We see that customers demanding constant innovation whether in product or flavours, wanting both health and taste, while with packaging to be environmentally friendly. We are doing all that at Hunter Foods! We are launching the following products to “up the game” and satisfy our customers’ desire of better living and better eating. We are also busy reviewing recyclable and biodegradable packaging, whilst changing the oils that have the lowest Saturated Fats, but still give our products the most stability in the intense heat of the summer in this region. Hunter Foods is excited to announce the following new products and even a whole new range of products in the UAE/GCC market and the world.

Exclusive Distribution of two more international brands under Hunter’s Collection: Flahavan’s and Kambay

Flahavan’s oatmeal has been made by an Irish family business since 1785. The family mill in the Southeast of Ireland produces oatmeal in small batches, using the same milling methods handed down over seven generations. The Flahavan family has been sourcing Barra and Husky oats from the same local family farms

for generations, producing naturally delicious oatmeal in a sustainable way, using its own renewable energy and ensuring that customers enjoy the most naturally creamy oatmeal on the market today. Kambay goes great heights to get you the perfect King Coconut for its water within. The name ‘Kambay’ comes from the rope that the tree climbers use to lower the King Coconuts to the ground. They do not add any sugar, preservatives or any other additives to their products. Studies show that a single serving of King Coconut water contains more potassium than a banana, has a better composition of calcium and magnesium than an orange, and just the perfect sweetness for it to be the trusted hydrant of Sri Lankan islanders for centuries past. They also work closely with the local farmers to support sustainable farming and fair trade. All the glass bottles and lids are recyclable. The shrink-wrap is also recyclable and all the king coconut shells accumulated every day are used to produce compost back on the plantation.
