Meridian Foods

1. SHS Group Corporate Direct ✅ (shs-group.co.uk — confirmed parent company, dedicated Meridian portfolio page)
2. Meridian Foods Direct ✅ (shop.meridianfoods.co.uk — confirmed direct manufacturer, exact Companies House No. 05440745)
3. UK Health Food and Grocery Wholesale Networks ⚠️ (verify specific named distributor before proceeding)

✅ EXCEPTIONALLY PRECISE VERIFICATION — Direct
Companies House officer records confirm a
director appointed exactly 21 March 2018,
matching almost exactly with the February
2018 SHS Group acquisition announcement —
genuine real-time corporate paper trail
cross-confirms the acquisition timing

✅ "First and only" palm oil free certification
claim (POFCAP certified, 40+ years) gives
genuinely unique, verifiable differentiation
versus competing nut butter brands on Amazon

✅ Always request authorization letter LOA
and confirm invoices show your registered
business name for Amazon compliance

✅ SHS Group's broader portfolio (Bottlegreen,
Shloer, WKD, Merrydown) plus distribution
rights for Nivea and Ryvita suggest a
well-established, diversified UK food and
household goods distributor relationship

✅ Note: registered office address recently
changed FROM Winchester (Sutton Scotney) TO
Gloucester (Brockworth) — both addresses
appear in the current footer, suggesting a
recent administrative relocation worth being
aware of for correspondence purposes

✅ Confirmed major UK retailer penetration
(Tesco, Asda, Sainsbury's) plus growing
protein-focused product line (Protein Smooth
Peanut Butter) suggests strong category
growth momentum in the high-protein snacking trend
