How are PapStix different?
Pap yama papa!
PapStix are more than just a convenience snack, they are a meal! We use traditional Mzansi ingredients and flavours based on traditional African food culture. Ingredients like maize, tomatoes, onions, garlic, chilli, paprika, soya, chia seeds, which are supplied by local sources, boosting the local agricultural economy.
Quality standards
Our hygienic factory and process is designed to be FSSC 22000 accredited. Our factory is Food Safety Assessment (FSA) and Halaal accredited through independent auditors. Quality assurance is undertaken by our food technicians who strive to achieve the highest national food safety standards.
Customization possible
PapStix are able to be tailored for large ongoing orders to suit a customer’s preference in many ways. We can tailor the following aspects:
- Size of each unit
- Flavour
- Nutritional content
- Added vitamins & minerals (fortification)
- Type of maize meal
- Shelf life
We enable local agriculture
Subsistence farming has many challenges. Distribution and scale are two of these. The distance to market often prohibits small-scale farmers from accessing profitable markets. However, with PapStix, we are able to develop factories in rural and remote locations thereby utilizing subsistence farmer’s produce.
Traditional flavours
At PapStix, we have developed three traditional flavours:
- BBQ Carrot
- Chilli Soya (Beef Flavoured)
- Tomato & Onion
Additional flavours are in development and could include: Soya Chicken, Peanut Butter & Syrup, and Chocolate.
Because they are delicious hot or cold and come in a variety of flavours, they are ideal for breakfast, lunch or dinner.
