It is no secret there is continued growing demand for high protein snacking options, but the majority of these protein snacks are imported into Ireland. We are delighted to partner with Aldi offering Irish consumers a great tasting Irish protein brand, with product proudly made in Ireland. We’ve had a fantastic consumer response already, and we look forward to building momentum with a strong consumer launch plan to drive brand awareness and product trial”.

GPA CEO Tom Parsons added; “We are delighted to see ‘In the Zone’ now available even more widely. It is a great product that the GPA are proud to be associated with and even more importantly it returns revenues to the GPA that can ultimately be invested in the development of inter-county players both on and off the pitch.”
