It brings excitement to the bread aisle with a unique offering, the first of its kind in the Australian market.

Baked in Australia, Sandwich Thins are suitable for topping, filling and toasting for a quick and delicious lunch. They are the deliciously different lunch time solution the whole family will love. They are available in three delicious varieties; original, wholemeal, and lightly seeded. They also have a strong health star rating with wholemeal rating 4.5 health stars, and original and lightly seeded rating 4 health stars.

Tip Top Senior Brand Manager, Susan Tahmasian, said the new range was developed in response to growing consumer demand for lighter lunchtime fare and greater variety: “Sandwiches will always be Australia's go-to lunch option, but there are occasions where we want to experiment or enjoy something different".

“Not only are Tip Top Sandwich Thins a welcome and versatile addition to the segment, they are also a smart choice for people who love the texture and appearance of bread but want a softer, lighter lunch."

Sandwich Thins has proved popular in the UK, where they are an important part of the bakery market and one of the biggest drivers of growth in the sandwich alternatives category.

The 'Thins' segment has grown to a 30 per cent household penetration rate (Nielsen Homescan 28.01.17) and sales estimated at more than £50 million ($80 million) per year. This growth is driven by strong brands and a solid innovation pipeline. In Australia, the sandwich alternatives segment is showing strong and consistent value growth at 7.7 per cent year-on-year (IRI Aztec Scan data to MAT 17.02.17).

Tahmasian added: “We're proud and excited to be bringing this latest innovation to Australia. We expect the range to be a big a hit with Aussie shoppers who are always on the lookout for something new and different."
