High-end food brand Waitrose, available in Malta at Arkadia Foodstores and FoodExpress, has been voted as the best for own-brand items in the UK, according to a survey compiled by consumer champion, Which?.

Nearly one in two products researchers tested from Waitrose were worthy of a Which? best buy award, higher than any other foodstore brand.

“Since its inception, Arkadia has always enjoyed a reputation for offer upmarket, quality food and drink products, hence our decision to introduce Waitrose in Malta,” said Arkadia’s general manager Antoine Portelli.

Waitrose gained best buy for its own-brand drinks

Consumer group Which? tested more than 160 supermarket products in 2015 to name the best food, drink, cleaning products, batteries and sunscreens and advise shoppers which to leave on the shelf.

Waitrose gained best buy recommendations for its own-brand drinks. The brand was also awarded best buys for food. Which? said its best buys go to products that are the ‘cream of the crop’, offering excellent quality and value for money.

Waitrose is a chain of British supermarkets, which forms the food retail division of Britain’s largest employee-owned retailer, the John Lewis Partnership.

The company has a royal warrant to supply groceries, wine and spirits to Queen Elizabeth and Prince Charles.
