    Moppet Foods expands to UK, Europe

    Moppet Foods, Nigeria’s leading natural baby food brand, has recorded another significant expansion of its global reach by launching on Amazon for the United Kingdom and European markets.

    This comes barely one month after Frills by Berta, makers of Moppet, made history by becoming the first Nigerian children’s food brand to sell its products on Walmart USA.

    In a statement, Roberta Oyedokun, Founder and CEO of Moppet Foods, noted that European families can now purchase Moppet Foods’ products with the convenience and trust of the Amazon platform.

    According to her, this expansion marks a pivotal moment for Moppet, affirming the company’s commitment to making wholesome, naturally-sourced nutrition accessible to a broader global audience.

    She said, “We’re thrilled to partner with Amazon to bring our mission of healthy eating to European homes. This launch is a testament to the universal appeal of our products and our dedication to providing parents with a healthy, convenient choice for their little ones.

    “Our line of 100% natural, nutrient-dense products, including Moppet NutriBlend Peanut, Moppet Mixgrain, Moppet Veggies Cereal, and Moppet Nutmeal Cereal, are now available on Amazon for European customers. Our goal is to ensure that the products are available and accessible in major local chains and retail stores, as well as African, Asian, and Caribbean stores.

    “In addition, for the European market, we are positioning the Moppet ranges (Moppet Mixgrain, Moppet Veggies, and Moppet Nutmeals) not only for babies and children but also for adults, especially those with dysphagia. This is to provide a healthy option for them to ensure that their nutritional needs are met.”

    Oyedokun hinted that Moppet would also be partnering with key health institutions in the United Kingdom to ensure the nutritional needs of both the adults and children are met.

    “We will be partnering with the Speech and Language Therapy (SLT) and the National Health Service (NHS) in the UK, as well as other health and social care agencies around the EU. Moppet has partnered with Maxipact Healthcare and Global Investments Limited, a UK-registered company, to facilitate the marketing and distribution in the UK and around Europe,” she added.

    Similarly, Moppet Foods strengthened its presence in Nigeria by launching in three major retail chains: Grandsquare, Market Square, and Hartleys.

    Oyedokun said the expansion would ensure that Moppet’s products are more accessible to a greater number of Nigerian families, complementing the firm’s existing distribution channels and solidifying its market leadership.

    “Our roots are in Nigeria, and expanding our footprint here is deeply important to us,” added the technologist-turned-food innovator.

    “By partnering with these prominent retailers, we’re making it easier than ever for local parents to access the nutritious foods they’ve come to trust. This is a win for Nigerian families and a proud moment for our brand.”

    Moppet Foods, Nigeria’s leading provider of natural and nutritious food solutions has announced a landmark achievement with the launch of its diverse product line, including the highly sought-after Nutriblend, on Walmart.

    This significant development positions Moppet Foods as the first Nigerian children’s food brand made from natural ingredients to be distributed by Walmart USA, a rare feat for African consumer goods.

    “This marks a significant milestone for Moppet Foods as it expands its reach to a broader consumer base seeking wholesome and convenient meal options,” said Roberta Oyedotun, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Moppet Foods.

     “Penetrating the U.S. and global markets demonstrates Moppet’s unwavering commitment to making its natural and nutritious food solutions easily accessible.”

    Oyedotun also expressed enthusiasm about the expansion, “We are thrilled to partner with Walmart, a retail giant committed to offering quality products to millions of families. We’ve gone from feeding one child in Lagos State, Nigeria, to nourishing thousands of children across continents. And we’re just getting started.

    “Moppet’s entry into Walmart is a testament to what is possible when innovation, resilience, and purpose collide. From a mother’s kitchen in Lagos—concerned about chemical-laden baby foods—to the shelves of America’s largest retailer, Moppet’s journey embodies a new era of African excellence and global impact. This allows us to make our natural and nutritious food solutions, including our new product Nutriblend, more accessible than ever before. 

    “This strategic expansion into Walmart represents a significant step in our market penetration efforts, bringing our nutritious offerings directly to where a vast number of consumers shop daily.”
