With Premier Foods having committed to creating “emotionally engaging” advertising for its core brands, the new campaign is designed to promote Bisto’s relevance to a new generation of consumers, particularly young families, over the “key winter season”. The creative heroes Bisto Best products, which over the past year have delivered 30.8% in value growth, ahead of wider category growth at 22%. As we mentioned above, gravy syns vary according to how it's made and the type, so to help you out, we’ve listed some general syn values below of popular gravy. Erceyes explains the company frequently uses TV due to the high household penetration of its brands. The belief is that the most effective way of sustaining brand equity and driving further penetration is to leverage a mass reach medium like TV. E635 can be made from plants or animals. The E635 that Premier Foods use in Bisto is derived from a vegetable source and so it is suitable for vegans. The use of E635 is not a reason for vegans to avoid Bisto gravy. Which varieties of Bisto gravy are suitable for vegans and vegetarians? At just 0.5-1 syn for 100ml, gravy is low in syns making it a great way to flavour foods or roast dinners without any guilt. Gravy is typically just made from the cooking fat of meat or flavourings with starch if you buy the granules.

To conclude, Gravy is slimming world friendly with homemade and instant gravy having between 0.5-3 syns a serving for 50ml. This makes it a great flavouring for meat and veggies when you want to keep a meal syn friendly. This is the first new creative in six years for the gravy brand, which has emerged as a “standout” performer in the Premier Foods portfolio. Attracting more than 1 million new households over the past year, growth is in large part down to customers trading up to the premium Bisto Best range. Innovation is absolutely critical, it’s the lifeblood of our business and every brand in our portfolio has to have a three-year innovation pipeline.

We saw absolutely no reason to change the strategy or overhaul the campaign idea of togetherness, but we are bringing a really fresh execution, which all our pre-testing says has great potential for connecting with consumers and building that brand equity.” When it came to looking at the new [Bisto] execution we asked ourselves, ‘Do we need to create a new campaign and change direction?’. But there was absolutely no reason to because the ‘Togetherness’ campaign we’ve been driving we know connects emotionally with consumers, builds our brands, drives sales and strengthens share within the category,” he says. Instant gravy is the more syn friendly option in comparison to the homemade gravy but it less natural and can be higher in sodium to make it tastier. How To Make SW Friendly Gravy Unless there is a “massive strategic reason” to change a distinctive asset the Premier Foods CMO would not advise doing so, although he sees a wider trend in the FMCG sector to reposition far too often. This gravy type is high in salt, however, having 1.2g a serving like most gravy types, so we would suggest having it in moderation. Low Syn Alternatives To Mayflower GravyPremier Foods is a big believer in the power of TV, with six of its brands – Mr Kipling, Bisto, Oxo, Batchelor’s, Sharwood’s and Ambrosia – all on air this year. To find out more about gravy and syns, we’ve put together a guide below which will take you through why gravy is low in syns, some syn values of gravy, how restaurant and instant gravy compare and recipes for making your own SW friendly gravy. Why Is Gravy Low In Syns?

General Syn Values Of Gravy This time the togetherness theme shifts to shine a light on friendship and the role a Sunday roast plays in uniting a pair of friends from childhood to motherhood, concluding with the pals introducing their own daughters to the tradition of sharing mealtimes.

If you’re a very strict vegan who wishes to avoid all potential cross-contamination, then you should be aware that there is possible cross-contamination with milk products during the manufacture of vegetarian Bisto gravy. This is why Bisto cannot be labelled as vegan, even though many vegans would deem it safe to eat. Innovation remains at the heart of the plans at Premier Foods. Erceyes considers innovation the only way to deliver long-term sustainable growth given the need to keep pace with consumer needs. He says the business spends a lot of time and resources on gaining insights from consumers, which translate into innovation. However, Erceyes insists the team does not approach campaigns with a mindset of: ‘We like TV, let’s do TV’. Instead, the marketers consider the objectives and decide the best way of meeting them. The campaign includes a partnership with Global Radio and represents Bisto’s biggest ever in-store Christmas activation, as well as a major TV push.Premier Foods CMO Yilmaz Erceyes explains that most of the company’s brand building campaigns are developed with a view to being “timeless” and the creative is only updated once the team feels a change is needed. He describes Bisto as one of the nation’s favourite brands, boasting close to 50% household penetration, which means roughly one in two homes buy the gravy brand at least once a year. While such high levels of awareness would make it easy for a brand to take its foot off the gas, the belief at Premier Foods is consistent brand building helps keep products relevant for generations.

Sometimes we underestimate how difficult it is to create a distinctive asset and sometimes we believe we have a distinctive asset behind our brands, but actually in consumers’ minds it is not. They can’t associate that with your brand if they’re exposed to it. So, it takes a lot of investment and consistency. There might be times when you need to replace it, but you do it at your own peril.” There are currently 18 varieties of Bisto gravy. The table below lists them all, along with which are suitable for vegans and vegetarians. Bisto gravy Bisto gravy contains palm oil. Some vegans choose to avoid palm oil because unsustainable palm oil production causes deforestation. However, palm oil is in itself vegan and when it’s sustainably sourced it doesn’t have the same negative impact on the environment.

The plan for 2021 and beyond is to keep investing in marketing. All the big six brands will remain on air, with Bisto and Oxo coming onto screens for autumn due to the seasonality of the products. Developing a distinctive asset takes a lot of time, consistency, investment and money. You would be throwing away the effect you achieved over the past decades if your distinctive asset has been around that long, which is true for Bisto. If you’re trying to create a new distinctive asset you’re throwing away all that investment and the halo effect of that investment,” says Erceyes. The Premier Foods CMO is convinced of the need to keep investing in brands even when you’re the market leader, because otherwise you risk losing relevance in the mid to long term. When we did consumer research analysing what [happened] if we portrayed that togetherness by bringing friends together, we got some incredible reaction from our consumers and that was true during the pandemic. Although the work happened throughout the pandemic, there is some timelessness about bringing friends together and the importance of friends in your life.” The standard Bisto gravy granules that come in a red container are suitable for vegetarians and would also be acceptable to most vegans as they do not contain any animal-derived ingredients. However, Bisto Best Beef gravy is not suitable for vegetarians as unlike the Bisto in the red container, Bisto Best contains meat. Vegan gravy granules
