SAD Safari has gone the trendy route of 'heat' and umami in the snacking arena, with the introduction of a new range of choice-grade Marmite and Wasabi peanuts and cashews.

Safari’s new Barbecue flavoured peanuts are the ideal snack, especially amidst the enthusiasm currently surrounding the 2011 Rugby World Cup.

In a fast-paced world, snacking has become a lifestyle for young and old alike. For busy parents, selecting tasty and nutritious treats for kids is no mean feat - a task, and trend, that Pioneer Foods hopes it will help solve, and leverage, with its launch of a Safari-branded fruit confectionery snack: the new Safari Gemz & Snaps range for kids that will add fun and variety to lunchboxes.

Durban's Rudene and Andrew Brown can, without doubt, be credited with shifting muesli out of a hippy-health-shop niche into the mainstream in South Africa. The couple, who founded and sold not one, but two, very successful breakfast cereal companies and brands, Nature's Source and Simply Cereal, have now taken their unflagging entrepreneurial spirit into the healthy snacking arena.
