Patties has marked its 51st year of operation with a product revamp, including a new vegetarian line, as well as refreshed packaging and ramped up production capabilities.
The company's new products include its first range of vegetarian of finger food: two vegetarian quiches and a vegetarian roll.
The company says its quiches also feature more grown up options, such as three new flavours; quiche Lorraine, Spinach & Feta and Caramelised Onion & Cheddar Cheese.
The company will rollout the new finger foods over the 2018-19 party season and these will feature new packaging with easy on-pack recipes.
Patties is also marking the milestone with the announcement to use only fresh Australian cage free eggs and 100 per cent Australian wheat flour.
“We have made a commitment to work with suppliers who ethically source ingredients using best industry practices,” Patties Foods GM of Marketing & Innovation Anand Surujpal says.
The new new finger food flavours were conceptualised through P.I.E, Patties’ proprietary insight-led innovation platform.
P.I.E is a new innovation ecosystem that empowers Patties’ staff to share new product ideas and insights based on swift data sharing. Its innovation pipeline has successfully resulted in Patties first four flavours to launch in-store via the platform.
Patties says it has also ramped up its production capabilities to 20,000 products an hour.
