Vitacress Salads Ltd. In addition to the UK, Vitacress has operations in Portugal and Spain. Vitacress supplies retailers in the UK under their own brand (JSainsbury or Marks & Spencers). In Portugal and Spain, in order to diversify the risk and as a way to combat the slowing of the UK Washed & Ready To Eat salad market, Vitacress decided to launch its own brand (from Odemira, Portugal). The launch in Portugal met with success although Spain is still a struggle.
