UK: Slendier to launch ‘low-carb’ konjac-based range

Health food company Slendier has developed a new line of noodle, rice, pasta and ready meals made of konjac flour for the UK market.

The range of products, which is said to be lower in calories and carbohydrates than wheat-based products, includes fettuccine, noodle, lasagne, spaghetti and pasta as well with three varieties of ready meals made of vegetable fettuccine with different types of Italian style sauces.

“Through research and feedback from our customers, we know that anyone who eats Slendier as a replacement for rice and pasta has lost weight and kept it off”, commented Erica Hughes, Slendier managing director.

The new range of konjac pasta is available at an RRP of £2.50 ($3.24), while the ready to eat meals are available at an RRP of £4.50 ($5.84) upwards.
