Barry Callebaut Beverages has introduced two smooth soups in a bid to counter clogging in vending machine canisters be caused by soup with small vegetable pieces.
The company said that ‘a number of operators’ have experienced issues with their machines caused by soups with inclusions and decided to take a proactive approach by removing the particulate from some soups to improve functionality.
Barry Callebaut Beverages UK head of sales Paula Bentley said: “We’re a company with a reputation for listening to our customers and ensuring that our high-quality products are fit for purpose, for all markets, while retaining their flavour and remaining pleasing to the palate.
“Soup is a popular choice and so it was important to us to be able find a solution that would enable vending operators to keep offering these products without causing technical service issues, resulting in faulty machines and maintenance costs, not to mention the disgruntled consumers. It’s a timely measure as soup tends to sell more in the colder weather and we wanted to make this product available, ready for the autumn and winter months.”
The company has recently introduced three Bensdorp’s Barista single-origin cocoa and chocolate drinks to its product line.
