According to Pick ’n Pay’s social media post, the restocking of these spreads was driven by ‘popular demand.’

Available for purchase in 125g jars at a price point of R39.99, the spreads are currently exclusive to Pick ’n Pay outlets.

Both Redro Fish Spread and Peck’s Anchovette have been staples in South African households before the condiments were discontinued in 2021 by Pioneer Food retailers.
