Crave End a Successful 2023 With the Launch of Bisco's; a Free-from Twist on the Dunkable Cookie Sandwich Biscuit

CRAVE, the renowned pioneers of free-from snacking, proudly introduces its latest masterpiece; Bisco's, a golden biscuit sandwich with a vanilla cream filling and sprinkles. This launch marks the latest new product development in CRAVE's free-from range, launching into Sainsbury's from 31st December 2023.  

Following Sainsbury's announcement of a new format that combines frozen, ambient, and chilled free-from products all in one aisle, CRAVE is set to launch a range of new products into Sainsbury's this year to help bolster the options for their free-from customers.   

Bisco's is the first new product in a new series of NPD for 2024, launching into Sainsburys from 31st December 2023. 

PRODUCT: Bisco's 

DESCRIPTION: Golden sandwich biscuits filled with a vanilla cream and sprinkle centre 

PRICE: RRP £3.50 

PACK SIZE: 130g 


RETAILER: Available from Sainsbury's from 31st December 2023  

Continuing to battle against and challenge the status quo, CRAVE came under scrutiny earlier in the year for some of their products getting rather close to the branding of other big multinational brands. 

On the launch of Bisco's Rob Brice said, “In the office, we had lots of fun coming up with a name for our first biscuit product, we toyed with 'Noreo', but after our accountant advised us, we don't have budget for another lawsuit this year, we settled on Bisco's! 

"We really like to think they encapsulate the fun of a Disco with the taste of a Birthday cake. Obviously Bisco's are very different from any other circular biscuit, being vegan and free from the top 14 most common allergens, whilst still being tasty and ready to dunk (if you like that sort of thing)!” 

Rob, who is an expert in food development, founded CRAVE in 2020. Following on from his appearance on the TV Show Aldi's Next Big Thing in 2022 with his free-from maize snacks, CRAVE has gone on to secure listings with major retailers such as Asda, Morrisons, Ocado and more recently, Sainsbury's. 

Standing up for inclusivity, CRAVE's products are designed to be enjoyed by everyone. They are gluten-free, vegan, and free from milk, egg, and lactose, ensuring that individuals with dietary restrictions never experience that FOMO.

Bringing food system transformation to the heart of the international climate agenda

The launch of the Food4Climate pavilion at COP27 last year, along with other food system Pavilions, was groundbreaking because it signified recognition at UN-level of the relationship between climate change and food production. 

At COP28, ProVeg International, a food awareness organisation, will build on the success of COP27, by further emphasising the need to make the shift towards plant-rich diets, adopt sustainable and resilient agricultural practices, and reduce food loss and waste.

What is the pavilion?

The Food4Climate pavilion is a space within the Blue Zone that will be open from to 12 December 2023. Partnering organisations will host events to bring food system transformation and sustainable diets to the heart of COP28, mainstreaming a transition toward diverse and resilient food production and consumption systems.

Who are the organisations behind the Food4Climate pavilion?

20 partner organisations will join ProVeg at its Pavilion, including: World Animal Protection, A Well-Fed World, Humane Society International, the Jeremy Coller Foundation, Mercy for Animals, Compassion in World Farming, FOUR PAWS, the Plant Based Foods Institute, the Buddhist Tzu Chi Foundation, the Changing Markets Foundation, the Plant-Based Foods Institute, Topsector Horticulture & Starting Materials, Terrascope, Food Tank, the MENA Youth Network, Young Professionals for Agricultural Development (YPARD), International Association of Students in Agricultural and Related Sciences (IAAS), YOUNGO Food and Agriculture, the ProVeg Youth Board, Upfield and Impossible Foods.

What are the main objectives of the Food4Climate pavilion?

Bringing food system transformation and sustainable diets to the heart of COP28

Mainstreaming a transition toward diverse and resilient food production and consumption systems as a key climate mitigation and adaptation solution

Bringing diverse stakeholders together to discuss challenges and solutions

What does their 10 day programme cover?

Their programme is divided into four chapters: 

Setting the stage and taking stock

Friday 1 December: (Re)thinking food systems

Saturday 2 December: Transforming consumption

Sunday 3 December: Building on past work

Monday 4 December: Connecting the dots

Showcasing innovation and solutions for planet and human health

Tuesday 5 December: Promoting innovation

Wednesday 6 December: Empowering change

Giving a voice to the unheard

Friday 8 December: Cultivating a green generation

Saturday 9 December: Leaving no one behind

Expanding our work for better action

Sunday 10 December: Growing the movement

Monday 11 December: Extending our scope of actions

Thursday 7 December is the official day of rest.

What kind of events are being held? 

We’ve organised all types of events, from panel discussions to debates, from film screenings to receptions, from mini-conferences to award announcements. You won’t be disappointed, so come by and stay for a bit! 

Can I take part digitally or in-person? 

If you have access to COP28 and the Blue Zone, you can attend our events in-person at the Food4Climate Pavilion.

If you’re not attending COP28, but are still interested in our events, you can watch them live streamed. Registration details can be found under each day page.

Or follow their Youtube Channel.

What will happen after the Pavilion and COP28?

As we pursue their work after COP28, the Food4Climate Pavilion will strengthen and expand the network of stakeholders interested in food systems change to all kinds of stakeholders (national delegates, UN agencies, private sector, civil society, youth and more) and help build common strategies for 2024 and beyond.

They will continue collaborating on projects outside of the conference as climate work doesn’t stop after COP.
