Following the brand’s continued push towards a more health conscious positioning (and move away from the bad press of the past) it has launched a new recipe that contains only 100% natural ingredients. The redesign, created by London based brand and packaging development agency Holmes & Merchant, reflects this new proposition through the introduction of a new craft based aesthetic, simplified typography and an illustrative design that sets a more honest and healthy tone.
