This new product, available in a convenient 1kg pack, is designed to cater specifically to the needs of Nigerian households, offering both ease of use and storage.

The new flour product not only meets consumer needs but also reinforces FMN’s dedication to enhancing the well-being of its customers.
Beyond convenience, the Golden Penny Multipurpose Household Flour is a versatile product that caters to a wide range of baking needs. Kazeem highlighted its multiple applications, stating, “Now you can bake with a guaranteed peace of mind that you are using a great quality product that is hygienic, good for your family, and more importantly, it is a multipurpose flour – perfect for a variety of pastries from chin-chin to puff puff to cakes to doughnuts and many more.”
Industry analysts and watchers predict that the introduction of Golden Penny Multipurpose Household Flour could impact the home baking segment of the Nigerian food market. The product’s launch is timely, considering the growing interest in home cooking and baking, particularly in urban areas.
The product launch is par of FMN’s broader strategy to innovate and adapt to changing consumer needs. The company has a long-standing reputation for quality in the Nigerian food industry, and this latest offering reinforces its position as a market leader.
