As you may be aware, there is currently a global shortage of sunflower oil (and sunflower derived products) impacting the wider Food industry because of the on-going conflict in Ukraine.
As a result of this, Vitalite has had to adjust its recipe, substituting sunflower with rapeseed alternatives. We pride ourselves in the high quality of Vitalite and can assure you that the adjusted product recipe still delivers the same great taste and quality.
In the short term, you might still pick up packaging referencing sunflower as we begin to roll out our updated recipe and wait for the required packaging changes to catch up. Please be rest assured that we are following guidance from the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA) and the Food Standards Agency (FSA) to implement these changes.
