SPAR UK’s multi award-winning Luxury Mince Pies have been endorsed by the popular women’s magazine, Good Housekeeping Institute.

The December issue of the magazine, on sale from November, highlights the great taste and fantastic quality of SPAR’s Luxury Mince Pies: “The richly spiced mincemeat is moist and juicy. It generously fills the buttery, crisp casing. A moreish Christmassy pie,” it says.

The endorsement includes an image of the product and details of local SPAR stores.

This is the second time this year that a SPAR UK Own Brand product has been endorsed by the prestigious Institute. SPAR Brand’s Luxury Soft White Tissue was recognised in March for its great quality and design.

Cath McIlwham, SPAR UK Head of Brand, said: “We are delighted to have been endorsed once again by the well-respected Good Housekeeping Institute.

“The Institute independently assesses hundreds of products for their Christmas taste test, and we are really proud that our SPAR Luxury Mince Pies made the grade!

“As Christmas approaches, we can offer our customers great-tasting quality products that our retailers can be really confident in,” she said.

SPAR UK’s Luxury Mince Pies also won one of the standout accolades at this year’s Wholesale Quality Awards, the Gold Christmas Q award.
