Kepak Convenience Foods (KCF), the number one name in the UK’s £108 million* hot snacking category, is launching a fresh new look for its award winning Panini brand, UGO’s Deli Café.

Launched just over two years ago, UGO’s Deli Café is already worth nearly £10 million and has been purchased by 2.3 million households**. The Panini range can be microwaved in minutes and targets the brand’s core consumers of busy, working adults looking for a deli delicious lunchtime snack.
KCF is also changing the name of one of its three variants. Chicken, Mozzarella & Black Olive Tapenade on a tomato and herb bread has become Mediterranean Chicken on tomato & herb bread.
