Aviko dangles World Cup carrot

Aviko, the largest manufacturer of chilled chips and potato products in Europe, is offering catering operators across Europe to form your own winning team and compete against each other to win tickets to the World Cup finals in Germany.

Aviko’s collector’s scheme, running in April and May, invites competing teams to collect points on selected chilled Aviko products. Each team will earn two points on every product in the innovative Aviko Steam and Fresh range and one point on selected Aviko box chip variants including Lord Chips chilled chips.

The more points a team earns, the greater the chances of winning. Log on to www.aviko.com/winningteam for full details.

The competition is a truly European event with teams competing to become their home country’s international squad; the winning UK team will win a “once in a lifetime experience” and runners up prizes include England 2006 replica shirts, football DVDs and inflatable football chairs.

“There couldn’t be a better time to stock up on Aviko’s range of quality chilled potato products,” said an Aviko spokesperson, “as our chips make the perfect snack to accompany any match. With that homemade look, crispy outside and fluffy inside, they are the ideal ‘beer soaker’ this summer and offer a simple incremental profit opportunity for pubs drawing in the crowds with live sport screenings.”

For those customers looking for a healthier option, Aviko’s Steam and Fresh range is a new potato product range which locks valuable minerals, nutrients and a natural potato taste into a steaming product. Marketed as “fresher than any frozen potato”, Aviko’s Steam and Fresh range is made with 100 per cent potato, no additives and has 0g of fat when regenerated in a steamer, the company claims.
