Leibniz Zoo Biscuits

Product Information

It was first produced for the South African market in 1957 by the Greyvensteyn business – some 66 years ago.

Though the Greyvenstyn family managed the company for several decades, it passed on to Fedfood in 1977 and then Foodcorp in 1992. No barbeque or block party event would be complete without it and it is one you can enjoy with your entire family that would guarantee an eventful time spent together. There are several food review channels in countries such as the United Kingdom and the United States of America that have featured this wonderful bar and given it very good reviews describing it as a very pleasant surprise in very small packaging. Several people, both online and offline, have reminisced about counting their cents and rushing to a corner café to get a handful of the tasty chewy treats that keep the taste buds tingling.The snack is currently being produced in the company’s factory in South Africa, alongside other notable snacks in their product portfolio. Cadbury, now known as Mondelez International, bought over the company and brand from Ginsburg in 1989. Bakers Iced Zoo Biscuits, or Zoo cookies as they are fondly referred to, are always a favourite at any children’s party (and most adults take the chance to sneak a cookie or two at these events).

It has come to be referred to as South Africa’s classic toffee brand as almost every South African has a childhood memory attached to the delicious toffee. It is proudly produced in South Africa by National Brands Limited – a subsidiary of AVI Limited, and under the brand name of Willard’s.

It is still being produced in the same small town where its production started in the 1930s and improving the status of the community immensely by its presence.
