A very Happy, Different Christmas to all of our supporters and readers
W
ell, what a year 2020 has been: one which none of us will ever forget. Our deepest sympathies go out to those who have lost loved ones, and those still suffering the longer term effects of Covid. On a business note, this year will be remembered as the one when the Fast Food, QSR and Takeaway sectors got wise to the value of fast-developing payment and ordering technology in changing the way to operate in the new climate. In the hospitality world, our sectors have fared much better than most as at least the takeaway and delivery aspect has been left open to us. Social distancing and lockdowns have spawned pre-payments, deliveries and collections and also the expansion of “Dark” kitchens where food is prepared by brands and operators for delivery to customers at home or work. Deliveroo have their Editions concept where several operators can work from their own kitchen in one warehouse. In this issue we cover the rise of gluten-free foods which used to be something some operators offered one day a week, if at all. With the increase in food allergies and for operators to be more flexible, the need to offer menu items to fit this requirement is growing fast, and may make the difference between a family choosing to use your shop or another. Finally, a very big THANK YOU to everyone who has supported us at Fast Food Professional this year and we wish you all a very Happy Christmas and a Happy New Year. With the exciting prospect of vaccinations being available for everyone in the new year, let’s hope that 2021 is the year in which we really start our recovery. Athol

Frymax is Committed to and Supports Sustainability. SUSTAINABILITY For several years Frymax has been made only from fully segregated certified sustainable palm fruit oil. This means that both palm oil and palm kernel oil are produced by palm oil plantations which have been independently audited and certified. The certification is provided by the official body, RSPO which has developed a set of environmental and social criteria member companies must comply with. Fundamental to this, is that no primary forests which contain significant concentrations of biodiversity, fragile ecosystems, or areas which are vital in meeting basic or cultural needs, can be cleared. This seeks to eradicate the threat of unsustainable palm oil plantations which damage both the regional and global environment and that of indigenous wildlife. Both Olenex and ADM, manufacturers of Frymax, support the global sustainability movement and RSPO. They also have an additional supply chain policy which requires Frymax palm oil producers to respect the core sustainability principles of, no deforestation of high carbon stock forests, no development on peatland and no exploitation of communities.
PROJECT MARIPOSA Frymax sources some of its palm oil from Latin American countries and has undertaken to support producers by providing them with the tools and expertise to produce fully sustainable palm oil. The vehicle to do this is through a new initiative called Mariposa.
The aim is to support families with the means to develop, improve and maintain their sustainable production practices.
In the past three years Olenex has undertaken three very successful Smallholder programmes to support sustainability. Frymax carries the Mariposa logo on its packaging and it is hoped and expected that Mariposa will get increased exposure over time. Says Andrew Marriott, Brand and Marketing Manager of Frymax “We are determined to promote sustainability in any way we can and support those who produce the oils for our product. Our involvement in Project Mariposa demonstrates our commitment to achieve these aims.”
Mariposa is about enabling growers to manage their palm trees sustainably.

Frymax Champions Sustainability
You don’t become the Fryers’ favourite for over sixty five years without listening to the needs of your customers and adapting to changing market circumstances. That is why, for several years Frymax has been made only from fully traceable, certified sustainable palm oil. This devotion to sustainability is backed by the RSPO and conforms to the economic, social and environmental requirements laid down by this body. The Frymax commitment to sustainability is evidenced by an involvement in project Mariposa which supports smallholders in Latin America, providing them with the tools and expertise to produce fully sustainable palm oil. This in turn enables Frymax to maintain consistent colour, consistent quality, consistent frying time and consistent delicious end results. As befits a brand leader, Frymax is the first to recognise initiatives which will produce benefits all - round. The commitment to sustainability is clear evidence of this.

King Frost delivers tradition and innovation for Great British Fish & Chips From humble beginnings, the Great British Fish & Chips Restaurant has quickly grown to be one of the Capital’s leading chippies. Celebrating tradition, and renowned for serving our best known and most loved dish, it has become a real tourist hot spot all year-round, whatever the weather!
G
“We have all the traditional aspects that you would expect on our menu, like our best-selling fish and chips through to battered sausages and pies, but it is equally important to include modern variants to ensure the menu is extensive and has something for everyone.” During a menu refresh last year, Bruce and the team introduced King Frost products to improve their offering and appeal to a wider audience. As he explains: “Products like the King Frost Fishcakes and Quarter

to all customers:
“We introduced the King Frost Quarter Pounder Fillet of Fish last year because we were keen to upgrade the products that we served. After doing our research and taste tests as a team, the Quarter Pounder Fillet of Fish came out on top for its golden bubbly batter and the quality and flakiness of the fish inside. We originally used a fishcake as a burger, but I felt it didn’t get across the right mixture of flavour and texture within the bun, which is why the Quarter Pounder was a much better option for what we needed.” They are also conscious of appealing to the varying dietary

Not only was the quality of the fish in the burger important, but also the sourcing credentials of King Frost, as Bruce explains: “The fact that the King Frost Quarter Pounder Fillet of Fish is made from Wild Alaska Pollock ticked all the right boxes with the right accreditations to help demonstrate to our customers that we source seafood responsibly.” Bruce concludes that they made the right decision in choosing King Frost: “We can always tell when a product has gone down well from the empty plates, but we have also received positive feedback directly from our customers on the King Frost products. It is superior to what we were using previously and tremendously improves our menu whilst benefiting our business overall.” Great British Fish and Chips were introduced to the King Frost Quarter Pounder Fillet of Fish by the UK’s leading suppliers of seafood to the retail and foodservice industries, Smales.

A Safer Sprinkle – Sarson’s Reintroduces Sachets Following ‘Unprecedented Operator Demand’ Following guidelines restricting the use of ‘serve-yourself’ condiment bottles in the wake of Covid-19, Sarson’s has reintroduced convenient and hygienic 7g sachets for operators to use for table service, delivery and take-away.
T
he company says it has been inundated with calls from operators to provide them with the new hygienic format, bowing to pressure with a short
run of sachets, especially designed to offer customers the great taste of the UK’s number one malt vinegar* and ultimate peace of mind. Minimising contact and containing a perfectly portioned sprinkle, the sachets are, says Bryan Carroll, Sarson’s Sales & Marketing Director, a safe and practical option for front-of-house use. “Now more than ever, customers need reassurance and familiarity when it comes to eating out and it’s the little changes that can make a big difference to consumer confidence. “UK Hospitality’s guidelines on restricting the use of ‘serve yourself’ condiments when eating out, while completely understandable and sensible, posed challenges for many operators. We’re proud to have answered the calls for this new format, so we can continue to support operators as they get back to business.” Sarson’s sachets are available now in 200x7g catering packs. *Brand Health Tracking Study, System 1, Feb 2019; Nielsen, 30.3.19 data. With over 15 million bottles sold each year, Sarson’s Malt Vinegar is the UK’s number one malt vinegar brand. Sarson’s is owned by Mizkan Euro Ltd., the European subsidiary of Mizkan Group, a familyowned, Japanese business started in 1804.

He continued to strive for the taste which he was so used to and experienced many failed attempts before finally coming up with a recipe which not only pleased him, but tasted just like the original McWhinney’s sausages he had been eating for so long. The solution turned out to be more expensive than the original sausage because he refused to use anything but the best ingredients. He had achieved his aim in developing a gluten free sausage which tasted the same as his original extremely popular sausage. The only downside is that the gluten free sausage will be slightly more expensive than the original, but Kevin believes that coeliacs all over the country will be able 12

frozen-at-sea vessels operate in accordance with Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point (HACCP) systems and are approved by the Norwegian Food Safety Authority. The benefits to using frozen-at-sea produce include locking in optimal freshness, nutrients and taste without compromising on quality. Frozen-at-sea fish can also offer a superior source of omega-3 acids, vitamins A, B12 and D. Other benefits apart from the consistently high quality of taste include a relatively stable price and an extended shelf life. Supply can be provided throughout the year, eliminating the impacts from seasonal fluctuations. There is also minimal wastage as the fish can be defrosted as required.

Veganuary ideas… as Central Foods expands its KaterVeg! vegan range for fast food operators Frozen food distributor Central Foods has introduced a new selection of vegan products to its KaterVeg! range to help fast food operators satisfy the increasing demand for plant-based options.
T
he KaterVeg! vegan quarterpounder, KaterVeg! vegan sausage and KaterVeg! vegan meatballs are all made with seasoned textured soya protein and are ideal for customers looking for vegan-friendly take-out or dine-in items.
Gordon Lauder, managing director of Central Foods, said: “Our KaterVeg! range of
products has been growing steadily, as demand rises from consumers for meat-free options. We’re excited to be adding to the range with these three delicious products that taste great and are simple and convenient to prepare and serve. “They are perfect for fast food operators who are looking for new ideas to serve to their vegan and meat-reducing customers as part of Veganuary and beyond.” Help your bottom line: pimp up the KaterVeg! vegan burger by popping in a gourmet bun with crunchy salad and customers will be willing to pay a premium any time of day or serve the KaterVeg! vegan sausage in a bread muffin or bap, for a tasty, meatfree breakfast or lunch item. For a substantial sandwich that will appeal to your plant-based customers or those customers who are looking for a tasty alternative to meat, pack a sub roll with KaterVeg! vegan meatballs and serve with a sauce and crunchy salad, or simply serve on their own with chips and sauce for a quick and easy eat-in or takeaway meat-free meal. The new KaterVeg! soya-based vegan range joins the KaterVeg! vegetable-based vegan fast food range that includes nuggets, sausages, spicy beanburgers, the famous Flamin’ Inferno burgers and – not forgetting – the temptingly tasty 6” vegan sausage rolls that flew off the shelves when they were launched in time for Veganuary at the start of this year! “Veganuary is growing in popularity – more than one million people have taken the pledge to ‘eat vegan’ in January since the meat-free event was launched seven years ago and many more take part unofficially – and we’re pleased to be supporting fast food operators by supplying a range of popular vegan-friendly products for their menus,” added Gordon Lauder. “Veganuary is a great time to introduce new meat-free products to any fast food outlet, so we’d urge operators looking to boost their meat-free offering to take a look at the KaterVeg! range, including these tasty new products which we’ve just launched.” Central Foods is one of the UK’s leading frozen food distributors, supplying a great selection of products for the fast food sector.

Following the launch of its restaurant in Bloomsbury, the brand revealed plans to open the next site in the city centre of Berlin by January 2021. Further growth and franchise recruitment will come during the next 12 months. December and January 2020-21 • Fastfood Professional

Co-founder and CEO Nikras Agha, who conceived the idea in Berlin with his Co-Founder Bijan Azadfard, said: “It’s very exciting to be launching our first restaurant in Bloomsbury, London. “Choppaluna will truly revolutionise the healthy eating space in the UK, bringing customers indulgent healthy options that fit with a fast-paced on-the-go lifestyle. “Following the launch of our first flagship store in Bloomsbury we will open a further site in Berlin by early next year and are currently looking at two other sites in London. “The opportunity is truly resonating with our franchise network within the Hero Brands group and we will work with them to explore opportunities for growth throughout the UK.” Hero Brands is focused on building the food brands of the future and brings a leadership team assembled from the world’s leading global food and beverage brands. Its portfolio includes German Doner Kebab which has revolutionised the kebab in the UK and is now forging ahead with expansion plans in the UK and global growth regions including North America, Europe and Middle East, with 700 franchises already signed-up to its global growth strategy. Athif Sarwar, Hero Brands CEO, said: “Hero Brands is responding to emerging consumer trends and focused on growing the brands of the future. “Eating-out is changing and younger consumers are demanding a shorter dwell time, great-tasting healthier food and an aspirational-experience that is shareable on their social channels. “Choppaluna responds to this trend and we worked very closely with Nikras and the team to develop the brand and a proposition that truly disrupts the healthy eating space. “We are excited to have launched in Bloomsbury and will now bring Choppaluna unrivalled industry expertise and backing to truly launch and grow the brand throughout the UK and global regions.”
Pan’Artisan launches Mini Dough Bites – the small treat that’s big on flavour!
T
o address the demand for small dishes, sharing options and snack size portions, Pan’Artisan’s latest launch to its bakery range, Mini Dough
Bites, provides consumers with a premium, tasty treat and operators with a popular, convenient, quick to serve product. Recent industry statistics support the popularity of snacking, a trend that continues to grow; a recent report from Mintel* states ‘snacking is ingrained and almost ubiquitous in the UK, with 94% of consumers eating snacks in the two weeks to March 2020 and 36% snacking at least twice a day’. The Mini Dough Bites are manufactured in Italy, using authentic ingredients and production processes, resulting in small pillows of part baked dough which have a fine, even texture and soft eating quality. The process creates a slight variation in individual size, giving a pleasing, hand-made, rustic appearance. For a delicious menu option, Pan’Artisan recommends baking the defrosted Mini Dough Bites in butter, flavoured or plain, which allows a soft crust to form and the dough bites to absorb the butter and flavour. Pan’Artisan’s Mini Dough Bites meet the need for quick serve scenarios - being frozen and part-baked they can be ready to serve from frozen in under 4 minutes or, if cooking after defrosting, in 2½ minutes and when garlic butter is added the Mini Dough Bites take around 5-6 minutes to cook. They are suitable for baking in a convection oven, impinger or wood-fired oven. Pan’Artisan’s Mini Dough Bites are available as a box of 458. *Mintel ‘UK Consumer Snacking Report’ 2020 For more information on the Pan’Artisan range of products call 01730 811490 or visit www.panartisan.com

Helen Applewhite, Marketing Manager for Lincat brands, explains: “Hygiene is naturally high on everyone’s agenda right now, and we are all incredibly aware of the risks of everything we touch. We were keen to try to find a way to boost customer confidence in the products handed to them in foodservice and retail outlets. “Our R&D team quickly identified that UV-C rays, which have been used to sterilise equipment in the healthcare sector for many years, could provide a solution. “They worked around the clock to produce the Confidence Box, which uses four UV-C lamps, located in the base, sides and top, to reduce viral and bacterial contamination of the objects placed inside.”
Followers of Lincat on Linkedin, Facebook or Twitter have been treated to a series of engaging teaser videos over the last few days, sharing snippets of the product and positioning it as suitable for hospitality, retail, electronic, health and beauty, and opticians. The Confidence Box, model number F63/900, is constructed from grade 304 stainless steel.

incorporating
our
patented,
fat-atomising
technology into Synergy’s CharGo, operators will not only be able to expand their menus, reduce their energy consumption and speed up cooking times, but they will also be able to improve food quality like no other. This is because Synergy’s fat atomising technology ensures that any moisture that is initially lost from the food, is gently penetrated back into the food for a perfect texture and taste. This atomisation process also completely eradicates the need for a fat tray, and therefore, removes the historically strenuous task of cleaning, along with the environmentally damaging disposal of waste fat. This is a serious uplift to restaurant cooking technology that represents the future of commercial kitchens.” As part of Synergy’s thorough R&D programme, several leading foodservice operators have now trialled the Synergy CharGo. By doing this, Synergy are able to ensure that the many stated efficiencies of the Synergy CharGo actually live up to operator expectations – expectations which were not only met, but exceeded as proven by subsequent talks of replacing their current chargrill with a complete chain-wide roll out of Synergy CharGo.

As Steve Morris, Sales Director at Jestic explains: “The Moduline hot holding range has proved very popular with a wide variety of operators from QSRs to fine dining restaurants, as the advanced technology ensures even and stable temperatures, from +30°C to +120°C, accurately calibrated to be gentle on the food, thus preserving moisture, flavour and aroma - so food looks like it has just been cooked. The new HSW212E two drawer and HSW313E three drawer units allow chefs to independently adjust the temperature in each drawer giving them even more control and consistent results. “The wired heating system is wrapped around the external cavity wall and electronically controlled with precision to hold the humidity contained in food without drying it, unlike ventilated holding systems. The new multitemperature Moduline holding drawers incorporate an easy to operate digital control panel with ergonomic and fully built in drawer handles with magnetic closure.” For more information about the Moduline range please call Jestic on 01892 831 960 or email info@jestic.co.uk

Mechline helps operators build customer confidence during the pandemic Mechline Developments, manufacturer of HyGenikx air and surface sterilisers, has launched a Customer Confidence Campaign to support operators in getting customers safely back into venues.

“As HyGenikx is wall-mounted, compact and works quietly, most customers don’t even notice it’s there, and therefore aren’t aware of the safety benefits it brings. The HyGenikx sticker can be displayed front of house–in windows, on doors, on walls or menus—to provide added reassurance to prospective diners that the venue is taking an important extra step to make its operation as safe as possible. With the sticker displayed we hope it will help give customers the confidence to eat inside venues again, safe in the knowledge that advanced hygiene technology is installed there. The sticker also acts as a portal to more information, as it features a QR code that will take diners to a landing page explaining the benefits of HyGenikx.” It’s clear from the comments of wide variety of restaurateurs and operators that the protection HyGenikx offers is making a positive difference to their business: “I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend HyGenikx to other foodservice or hospitality businesses as it is the ideal complement to manual cleaning. It helps to protect customers and staff, extends the shelf life of fresh produce and provides additional reassurance so our industry can move forward with confidence and return
I n n Co l l e c t i o n G ro u p The technology within HyGenikx is proven to inactivate viruses, including coronaviruses, by using a unique combination of UVC, PCO and trace ozone to destroy these microorganisms. Studies have shown that this technology is effective against SARS-CoV, a virus from the same family as the current, COVID-19, coronavirus strain (SARS-CoV-2). It works by damaging the genetic material of viruses so that they can no longer function or reproduce, rendering them harmless. The HyGenikx technology has also been shown to significantly reduce the presence of MS-2 coliphage (a surrogate for Norovirus) both in the air and on surfaces. MS-2 is a non-enveloped virus that is more difficult to eradicate than lipid-enveloped coronaviruses, such as SARS-CoV-2. Together with regular handwashing, frequent cleaning, and social distancing, HyGenikx can help prevent the spread of harmful coronaviruses and reduce the risk of infection. HyGenikx models start from as little as £289, require no training to use and no costly installation as they simply plug into a standard socket and consume very little energy, requiring only 9-13 watts. The HyGenikx range has models to suit every application, from food preparation areas, cold rooms, and front of house, to washrooms, refuse areas and beyond.

ell known as a key wholesaler to the foodservice and hospitality industries, at the start of the lockdown, the company saw
a huge lift in takeaway products for their customers and a swing to households visiting their website and placing orders. Quickly realising that individual shoppers have very different needs to the foodservice industry, the Thomas Ridley team set about ensuring that their digital offering could meet both opportunities. Darren Osborn, eCommerce Director at Thomas Ridley Foodservice describes the impact of the lockdown on the business, “To be honest, we were preparing for the worst, with schools, cafes and restaurants closed, we had to think quickly as to how we could continue to operate during the lockdown. After a day or two, we started to see a substantial uplift in our web traffic, sales of bread mix increasing in demand and new customers joining us who were obviously family households. Over the course of 2020 we’ve had weeks where we’ve had to process over 90,000 orders and sold 12,000 bags of bread flour, in just 7 days! Our foodservice customers have also been ordering lots of takeaway packaging, showing just how adaptable their businesses have been during this time.” The many years of hard work to ensure the Thomas Ridley website is one of the best in the business ensured the system could handle the significant
require customers to have an account with us, they can shop as guests and we also deliver nationwide by courier. We have increased our range of smaller pack sizes and our fruit and vegetable boxes have been so popular that we are going to keep providing these as an ongoing line. We had to increase our warehouse shifts to 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and implement significant changes across our whole operation to ensure the safety of our team. We changed our delivery model to contactless when supplying to our care home customers and offered discounts on orders for the NHS and education workforce.” Thomas Ridley has taken a number of measures to ensure the health and safety of both our staff and our customers, implementing strict procedures to all staff entering our buildings, this includes morning temperature checks, regular cleaning routines and hand sanitising stations throughout. Signage on all doors outlines the company policy, explaining in full detail instructions to external delivery drivers as well as the process regarding temperature checking and hand washing/sanitising stations. Darren concludes, “As a family run business, we have operated with incredible agility to ensure that we protect the jobs of our employees as well as taking advantage of the new opportunities over the last few months. It’s been a rollercoaster of a ride, with huge ups and downs every day, and new challenges thrown at us. We’ve all pulled together as an amazing team to ensure we provide our customers, old and new, with the best possible products and service.”
increases in traffic and orders. Prior planning and increasing stock holding meant supply was good across virtually all lines, and when faced with a 15,000% increase in demand for bread flour, the team could deliver. 54
