  Biscuit of the Week
Both biscuits are pictured alongside with the McVities at the bottom.
The McVities is noticeably darker brown, which is most probably due to the inclusion of molasses as opposed to Griffins use of brown sugar in their recipe.
The pattern of cracks on top of the biscuits is also distinct and different, with the McVities displaying a little calm zone in the center and the Griffins having a more homogenous distribution.

 McVities Go Ahead Yoghurt Breaks - Read Reviews
McVities make different types of yoghurt breaks there are Tropical Fruit, Strawberry, Apple, Forest fruits etc. However I prefer Tropical fruit and Strawberry Yoghurt breaks.
The tropical fruit is made up of a crunchy but soft biscuit which has some pineapples, sultanas etc between it and on top of the whole biscuit is a layer of yoghurt.
I have often bought Go Ahead yoghurt bars and tried the several varieties but there is a new one that has recently come out called blueberry and its just as delicious as the strawberry and forest fruits.

 McVities process cooling case study
A new biscuit production line for McVitie's led to the requirement for a chilled water system to maintain product temperatures within the process production.
Chosen to produce a detailed design for the chilled water system, for seamless integration into an already congested area, CoSaf's considerable experience and 3-Dimensional CAD facilities were employed to provide a key system to maintain quality and speed of production.
Operating automatically, to maintain desired water temperature, an externally located water chiller - supported by internal distribution and food-grade stainless steel pipework - was integral to the CoSaf solution.

MCVITIES pensioners may have been thrown a lifeline by the new owners of United Biscuits, which agreed to pay £1.6 billion for the company, which has a factory in Halifax.
There were fears that the £320 million hole in the pension fund would increase if nothing was done to plug it, but equity partners Blackstone and PAI, who agreed to take over the company, said it would inject £150 million into the fund when the deal was sealed, probably in December.
McVities in Halifax employs more than 300 people at Hopwood Lane and is responsible for production of some of the company’s most popular cakes and biscuits.
