Waitrose, the high-end food brand exclusively available in Malta at Arkadia Foodstores FoodExpress, has been voted as the best for own-brand items in the UK, according to a survey compiled by Which? Nearly one in two products researchers tested from Waitrose were worthy of a Which? best buy award.

“Arkadia has always enjoyed a reputation for offering upmarket, quality food and drink products, hence our decision to introduce Waitrose, out of all the brands available worldwide, in Malta,” Arkadia general manager Antoine Portelli said. “This recognised award makes us at Arkadia proud to be the only foodstore with Waitrose products on our shelves.”

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

Waitrose gained best buy recommendations for its own-brand drinks. The brand was also awarded best buys for food. Which? said its best buys are awarded to products which 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 II and to Prince Charles.
