KTC Launches Super Southern Fry

kitchen and one in each toilet, to help protect all areas, staff and customers, and so far, our staff have reported no viral illnesses. Our air is permanently cleansed, and, without question, HyGenikx has helped us maintain a healthy work environment.

“We have also noticed that ingredients are lasting longer. Front of house we have a display kitchen where fresh food is made from scratch and people can watch it being made. Our ingredients are certainly keeping for longer than you would expect, and I believe it is down to the fact we have the HyGenikx machine. Mechline products are certainly going into the next Kauai store!”

The Kauai endorsement for HyGenikx follows independent laboratory trials conducted by Campden BRI, which confirmed that HyGenikx is effective at removing airborne Coronaviruses, including SARSCoV-2 which causes Covid-19 – as the results of the trials proved that HyGenikx removed up to 99.99% of an airborne Covid-19 surrogate. *

HyGenikx is a revolutionary wall-mounted air and surface sanitisation system which is proven to quietly and efficiently eradicate bacteria, viruses and microbes on contact — providing 24/7 hygiene and safety protection without the need for human intervention. It improves infection control for staff and customers, neutralises all odours and is also proven to reduce spoilage by extending the shelf-life of perishable food on average by 58%, and up to 150% for certain produce. The HyGenikx range has models to suit every business from restaurants to bars, hotels, care homes and offices - with specialised units available for food preparation areas, cold rooms, washrooms and refuse areas.

KTC Edibles Ltd, Britain’s largest independent manufacturer and distributor of edible oils, has launched Super Southern Fry – a new, high performance, heavy duty frying oil designed specifically with fast food outlets in mind.

Super Southern Fry is a blend of responsibly sourced, RSPO certified segregated palm oil and palm stearin, and rapeseed oil – specially formulated for chicken shops and high street fast food outlets.

Super Southern Fry offers improved frying performance and extended lifespan, especially when cooking deep frying coated foods like fried chicken. It’s designed to enable heavy duty fryers, such as independent fast food outlets, to fry for longer between oil changes, cutting oil use, reducing waste and saving money.

Gary Lewis, Head of Business Development for Oils and Fats at

KTC, said:

“Super Southern Fry is the perfect solution for busy chicken shops. It’s a high-performance oil that lasts more than twice as long as standard vegetable frying oil. This cuts down on oil changes and reduces oil use – which directly translates into less cleaning and reduced waste. The result is significant savings in terms of time, effort and cost.

“In terms of performance, the neutral flavour profile of the blend lets the ingredients speak for themselves, so fryers can deliver consistently crispy and delicious food for longer and at a competitive price point.”

Super Southern Fry is the latest addition to KTC’s growing Super

Hi-Fry range of sustainably sourced, long life vegetable frying oils. The range also includes Super Hi-Fry for medium duty frying, and Super Plus Hi-Fry for heavy duty use – and the company is investing heavily in developing additional products for specialist food service applications, which are planned for launch in 2022.

All Super Hi-Fry oils are created with sustainability in mind, and use responsibly sourced ingredients, including RSPO certified, segregated sustainable palm oil.

Founded in 1972, KTC Edibles employs more than 275 people across two UK sites in Wednesbury and Liverpool. The company supplies more than 250m litres of cooking oils to customers of all sizes across the UK food industry each year. In 2022, all the palm oil supplied by KTC will be RSPO certified sustainable.
