FAMILIES on holiday in Spain will soon be able to buy organic baby snacks made in Northern Ireland straight off shop shelves in Barcelona, Madrid and Marbella.
For fans of Tyrone-based 'Heavenly Tasty Organics' it will mean lighter suitcases when travelling thanks to a new deal with retailer El Corte Ingles which is bringing the new organic 'superfoods' range - packed with kale, buckwheat and coconut milk - into leading Spanish supermarkets.
The deal - supported by Invest NI and announced during Export Week - has the potential to be worth £180,000 for the Augher firm founded by mum-of-three Shauna McCarney-Blair who began making organic baby food after struggling to find premier products for her own young children.
"We are thrilled to be working with El Corte Ingles, one of the leading retailers in Spain, and along with our recent deal to export to France, it is creating the opportunity to bring our products to global markets which has been our aim from the start," Shauna said.
"There has been much interest in our new snacks range, mainly due to its innovative nature and ability to bring something new and exciting to baby food markets, both at home and throughout Europe.
"This latest export deal to Spain is a huge achievement for our company and without the help of Invest NI and the SIAL food Exhibition in Paris in 2014 it would not have been possible."
Heavenly’s Organic Snacks will be available in four of El Corte Ingles’ supermarket stores from next week and a further 43 hyper markets and 55 supermarkets from February 2016.
