Bisto Southern Style Gravy Granules, a Taste of America, 190 g Drum (Pack of 1)

Product Information

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. Therefore, the use of palm oil should not be a reason for vegans to avoid Bisto. Is the E635 in Bisto vegan? 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.

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. 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? Start by frying off your onion, carrot and celery, after around 10 minutes add in the other ingredients and a cup of boiling water then simmer for 20 minutes until the veggie becomes softened.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%. 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. Premier Foods is a member of the Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO) and since 2015 has sourced 100% of its palm oil from sustainable sources ( Source). 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.

Depending on whether you have gravy while eating out or homemade gravy, the syns will be different to the instant gravy. 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.”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. Whilst no varieties of Bisto are labelled as vegan, those which are labelled as vegetarian are generally suitable for vegans too, as they have no non-vegan ingredients such as milk or eggs. When we look at all our brand campaigns across the board and do the marketing mix modelling after the campaign period, we always see even the short-term return on investment is significantly ahead of industry benchmarks and averages,” says Erceyes.
