A rice foods company based in Melbourne, Forbidden Foods recently released an organic “BREKKY” rice pudding.
We found their Woolworths rollout to have been executed very well, but we wonder how well their packaging stands out.
Brekky Rice – 2 flavours
Forbidden Foods recently launched their new Brekky Rice flavours – Black Rice & Coconut and Black Rice, Honey & Cinnamon flavours. The NPD is a healthy breakfast rice product that is NASAA organic certified, dairy free, gluten free and uses their signature black rice. The new product was launched into Woolworths, let’s see how well this NPD was executed in-store

Brekky’s NPD had good distribution & was executed well in stores. The only area of improvement is utilising bigger packaging to increase shelf impact of the NPD.
For Forbidden Foods, utilising bigger packaging for Brekky Rice to increase shelf impact is the main area of improvement for this NPD. By using crowdsourcing to research category & competitor packaging, Forbidden Foods can obtain the necessary information to work out what needs to be done to differentiate themselves on the shelf.
