Press Release
What’s new and exciting in the breakfast aisle today?
White Star Instant Maize Porridge, of course!
South Africans once again showed love for their favourite
maize meal brand, White Star, when they voted the brand top spot in the 2017 “Product
of the Year” competition. The prestigious
“Product of the Year” awards, which took place in Johannesburg on 23 February,
announced White Star Instant Maize Porridge as winner of the breakfast category
in a survey conducted amongst 5000 South African consumers by Nielsen. This is
yet another feather in White Star’s cap after being rated South Africa’s
favourite maize brand in the latest Sunday Times Top Brands Survey for seven
years in a row.
The “Product of the Year” initiative is the largest
annual product survey amongst consumers on the African continent. With a
continuous annual increase in products, “Product of the Year” proves to be a
very credible platform for consumers to learn about the best brands on the
market.
White Star Instant Maize Porridge is available in five
delectable flavours, which is just one of many reasons why it is the cereal
most enjoyed by families. It is especially appealing to a market that is
looking for something new, convenient, tasty and affordable, and is an
excellent source of calcium and seven vitamins. The porridge is prepared by simply
adding warm milk or water, depending on preference. Its smoother, superior
quality and better aroma of flavours, has secured it as a firm favourite.
“We’re extremely proud of this achievement,
especially as White Star Instant Maize Porridge is a new addition to the White
Star product portfolio,” says White Star Marketing Manager, Mokhele Makhothi. “Being
awarded ‘Product of the Year’ is a wonderful milestone for the White Star brand
and we will continue to develop the brand further; keep providing the best quality products and never
disappoint our loyal supporters,” he concludes.
