Lamb Weston ‘unlocks new snacking opportunities’ with launch of Snap Fries

Written by: Edward Waddell
Lamb Weston has announced the launch of Snap Fries, a new crispy fries product designed to capitalise on the rapid growth of snacking occasions and evolving consumer habits across the UK foodservice and travel sectors.

Developed in response to emerging consumption trends, Snap Fries enable operators to serve high-quality, crispy fries in a wider range of locations and dayparts, supporting Lamb Weston’s ‘Everything is better with fries’ campaign and its focus on helping customers unlock untapped revenue opportunities.

The ready-to-cook format meets growing demand for fries in non-traditional channels. Consumer research by Monopack highlights significant demand for fries beyond traditional quick-service restaurants. In the UK:

  • 55% of consumers say they would buy fries at petrol station forecourts
  • 58% are interested in purchasing fries from retail hot counters
  • 65% of airline passengers would buy fries onboard, rising to 83% if offered in convenient packaging, and at a reasonable price

Gunes Muftuoglu, country manager – chains at Lamb Weston, said: “Snacking occasions are expanding, and operators are looking for simple, scalable solutions to meet demand in new environments. Snap Fries are designed to deliver exactly that – great tasting, crispy fries with minimal operational complexity.”
