Checkers has launched a new private label offering, Foodie!, to unleash the inner chef in every home cook. Expertly crafted, Foodie! products take the hassle out of cooking, combining top-quality fresh ingredients to provide a variety of options for an extraordinary at-home dining experience.  

The extensive range consists of flavour-enhancing sauce bases, pastes and marinades that can turn ordinary ingredients into mouthwatering meals; cook-in sauces for quick pasta and meat dishes; belly-warming soups just in time for winter; and ready-made meals inspired by different regions of the world. 

As more consumers turn to private-label brands for their trusted quality and affordable prices, Checkers continues to expand its offering to cater for consumers’ diverse needs, with Foodie! joining the ranks of the retailer's established ranges such as the award-winning Forage and Feast,  healthier alternative Simple Truth and kiddies’ favourite Oh My Goodness!.
