A YUMarrific, CHOMPalistic, SCRUMPtiously MUNCHeous new range brings playful protein to lunchboxes, snack times and family meals<\/p>\n

There\u2019s something magical about mealtimes made just for the little ones.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s why Eskort, South Africa\u2019s leading antibiotic-free pork producer, is excited to introduce Eskort Kiddos, the country\u2019s first-ever pork range created especially for children aged 3 to 13.
Thoughtfully crafted for curious taste buds and busy family lives, Eskort Kiddos brings together fun, flavour, and wholesome goodness in every bite. Because when food feels made for them, it\u2019s more than a meal, it\u2019s a mouth full of flavour.<\/p>\n

With six fun products boasting names like Flingas, Tootsies, Smashies, Wim Wams, Tonkies, and Cheesy Wiggles, the Eskort Kiddos range transforms everyday eating into an adventure. Each product is designed to make kids smile while giving parents the quality, nutrition, and convenience they can trust.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s never been a dedicated pork range made just for kids in South Africa, and that felt like a missed opportunity to bring a little magic to mealtimes,\u201d says Arnold Prinsloo, CEO of Eskort.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith Eskort Kiddos, we wanted to create something that makes children smile and makes parents feel good. Food that\u2019s made for real family life: quick dinners, lunchbox moments, after-school hunger, all while staying true to Eskort\u2019s 108-year heritage of quality and care.\u201d<\/p>\n

Made for kids, trusted by parents<\/strong><\/p>\n

Every Eskort Kiddos product is made with antibiotic-free pork, specially crafted for little taste buds with gentle, wholesome flavours and soft, happy textures that kids truly enjoy.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s no added MSG, and some variants are gluten-free, giving parents peace of mind that every bite is both safe and satisfying for growing bodies.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe know that parents want convenience without compromising on nutrition,\u201d Prinsloo explains. \u201cThat\u2019s why Eskort Kiddos products are par-cooked for speed \u2013 most are ready in less than 15 minutes in an oven or air fryer. They\u2019re packed with protein, easy to prepare, and versatile enough for any occasion, from packed lunches to weekend family meals.\u201d<\/p>\n

The range includes six products, each with its own personality:<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. FLINGAS<\/strong> \u2013 Crumbed Pork Fingers: Golden, crispy pork fingers that make dinnertime feel like playtime. A tasty twist on the classic chicken or fish finger, perfect for dunking in dips or pairing with veggies and potato wedges. Ready in 8-10 minutes.<\/li>\n
  2. TOOTSIES<\/strong> \u2013 Crumbed Pork Nuggets: Shaped like adorable piggy snouts, Tootsies are the giggle before the bite! Mild, soft, and totally moreish \u2014 these nuggets bring the fun to every forkful. Ready in 10-12 minutes.<\/li>\n
  3. SMASHIES<\/strong> \u2013 Mini Pork Patties: South Africa\u2019s first pork patties for children. These mini sliders (8 x 50g per pack) are perfect for little burgers, offering a protein-rich alternative to beef and chicken. Ready in 8-10 minutes.<\/li>\n
  4. WIM WAMS<\/strong> \u2013 Crumbed Pork Frikkadels: Bite-sized frikkadels with a light, crispy coating. Mild in flavour, soft in texture, and perfectly portioned for small appetites. Ideal with mash and gravy or as party finger food. Ready in 8-10 minutes.<\/li>\n
  5. TONKIES<\/strong> \u2013 Potato and Bacon Balls: The ultimate comfort snack combining creamy potato with real Eskort bacon, all wrapped in a golden crumb. A hearty treat that stands out from plain potato balls. Ready in 15-18 minutes.<\/li>\n
  6. CHEESY WIGGLES<\/strong> \u2013 Mini Cheese Viennas: Twenty mini viennas made with real cheese (not just flavouring), giving them a richer taste and smoother texture. Fully cooked and ready in just 2-3 minutes \u2013 perfect for busy mornings and lunchbox emergencies.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    A market first<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \u201cWhat makes Eskort Kiddos truly special is that there\u2019s nothing quite like it in South Africa,\u201d says Prinsloo. \u201cWhile beef and chicken products for children are common, pork products designed specifically for kids simply didn\u2019t exist. We saw an opportunity to bring something new, fun, and high-quality to the market \u2013 products that parents can feel good about and kids genuinely enjoy eating.\u201d<\/p>\n

    The playful branding and vibrant packaging have been designed to appeal directly to children, with bold colours, fun characters, and cheeky product names that make mealtimes more exciting.<\/p>\n

    Available now<\/strong><\/p>\n

    The Eskort Kiddos range launches in November 2025 and will be available at leading retailers nationwide.<\/p>\n
