A BRAND of natural nacho chips designed specifically for the convenience retail sector has extended its coverage to Scotland.
Cornitos, which made its UK debut in London and the Midlands in May, was initially launched through the Dhamecha Cash & Carry group and national delivered wholesaler, Suma Wholefoods.
The Cornitos 70g sharing pack, price marked at £1, is available in four flavours, from “mild to wild” – Lime and Mint, Barbeque, Thai Sweet Chilli and Peri Peri. Each is gluten-free, vegan, non-GMO and cholesterol-free, with no artificial colours, flavours or preservatives.
Cornitos is already listed in One O One, the largest independent licensed convenience store group in Scotland, with all 45 stores now stocking the brand. It will also be available this month through wholesaler United Wholesale Grocers’ depots in Glasgow and Gateshead, and Cardiff’s Global Foods.

Fraser Heenan, chief executive and co-founder of Glasgow-based Blaze XK, the company that brought Cornitos to the UK from India, said: “Cornitos has been extremely well received by trade partners and customers alike with over 100,000 packs already in convenience channels in the two months since we launched.
“Consumer and retailer trials in Scotland during May delivered praise for the brand’s premium quality and taste, while stores reported high levels of interest in the brand and repeat purchase rates.”
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
Callum Baird, Editor of The National
